Ha! @hm. My ‘82 10 speed Sidewinder has that same exact shop decal! Too funny!

Here is my daily ride - a1982 Sidewinder 10-speed. The original tires were replaced by Goodyear tread black walls, the Leppert seat and layback seatpost were added for comfort and legroom. The grips are new Hunt Wild. I kept all the original parts.

These are my two 82 Sidewinders, top one is all original, and I built the bottom one with all parts that I found, just got it as a frame at the start.

The top one has that “early” downtube decal! I’d be interested to see the date stamps on the crank, handlebars and headbadge!

The frame looks bent at the headtube on the bottom one..........

Yeah, unfortunately. Doesn't affect the riding though.
