Finally riding a big boys bike
Earlier today, I contacted a seller who had this bike for sale locally along with a Schwinn 10 speed for what would have amounted to pocket change.
Once we talked on the phone, He told me the radio did not work, and the three speed hub no longer had the little shifting chain attached to it. I was not ready to take on any projects I would need to invest money in so I passed.
Does anyone know what this bike actually is? The seller did not know.
If the radio was working, I would have bought it. Just for the radio, and the tires. He was not asking much.
I thought the Radio, chain guard, Fork, and fenders was possibly interesting. and stuff I could use on other bikes.
I'm planning to take a drive out at the crack of dawn to a larger Chicago area flea market tomorrow morning, and thought I might be able to spend some of the money allocated more wisely.
If anyone would be interested in the radio, or anything else let me know. I could contact him again tomorrow. He was only asking 30$ for both bikes. If you want to try and fix the radio, and I could still pick the bikes up. I'd cut you a deal for less than that as I could also use some tires.
The seller lives just a few miles away. If you live in the Chicago area and would want to contact him directly, here is the original add. (Note: I'm not interested, and already passed).

Since its so close to my home, I could easily pick it up for anyone who may be interested in any of the parts.
