I wonder if someone on the Forums will be "brave" enough to make a "clone" of it?

I'll build the bike only if Ben agrees to dress up like Kip and I pull him.

What's going on in the forward half of the main triangle?
Curved tubing off the head tube?
Cable leading up from head tube to top tube and then down the middle to FD area?
VOTE FOR PEDRO!

80s Huffy Omni?, I think. It's totally a normal huffy.
Now Pedro's bike is something else. I don't recall exactly what it was labeled in the closeups, but I did not recognize it.
edit: I know my 80s crap. Growing up, trips to the bike shop were rare. Trips to other town's dept stores were 4-5 times a week, in a time before walmart.

IT was called a 'Sledgehammer' but I don't know if that was a name made up for the movie or if some box store actually sells 'Sledgehammer' BSOs.

+1 on being dragged around non-WalMart Walmarts as a kid by my parents. Ayr-Way/Caldor's/Kmart anyone?
Now I need to find a Huffy Omni to make my collection of crappy bikes complete!

He probably bought that bike at the same thrift store where he bought the dance VHS tape.

TG&Y, Gibson's and a few others I can't remember the names of. While all of my friends watched Saturday morning cartoons, I got dragged 16 miles away to the nearest town that actually had stores. Every stinking Saturday.

I remember TG&Y! Can't remember if that was in Kentucky or Massachusetts. We moved a lot as a kid. Yeah I got dragged stores around Saturdays. Either that or chores. I guess it made me appreciate school so I should be grateful.
