There were two Aeroewinds posted here for years. One was $5, the other $15. Surprisingly, the $15 bike sold (I thought the $5 bike was in better condition). I think the guy asking $5 gave up.
Cool bike nonetheless.

You are correct. I have fat fingers, they were covered in grease and I wasn’t wearing my readers.
This bike is available for $30 at the co-op in Missoula, Montana.

Are those plastic calipers?! Or just "aerodynamic" housings or coverings?

Cino is currently happening this weekend and it is 2 hrs northof this co-op. Is there anyone attending Cino that is driving south through Missoula to get back home that passes by this co-op? And then continues on to their home heading through Colorado or Wyoming? Looking for a 'rucker' or an 'intermediary' that might be able to pickup (literally, as well
) that I could meet up w/ for a handoff and a little kickback?Very interested.

I suspect that they aren’t in the habit of shipping, but maybe for a proper donation they might. Ask for Emily, she is the Director and she is there today.
I tell her I sent you.

I wonder what they used to squash the seat tube and down tube? It kind of looks like they just ran over the frame with a Chevette. Which would probably work with Huffy grade steel.

We had plans to visit a local polson creamery, then Quinn’s resort for the hot tubs followed by Wallace Idaho for the Hiawatha ride. Plus I teach a wine class tonight back in Portland or we would have grabbed her for you.
I think in August we are headed to Durango, it would be the long - way- round, but for a 6-pack of Coors……

Thanks for thinking of me
If the stars align, awesome. If not, other (heavy) fish in the sea, I suppose!

I would buy it for the novelty it presents.......weight wennies there is a lot of weight savings on the shifters and brakes.
I like it!
Best, Ben
Yes, I know "a fool and his money are soon parted", but where else can you have dented/flattened tubes that are meant to be that way without others saying how those tube will fail.
