NOS Wham-o Wheelie Bar

[Jeff54]

The funny thing is, that back in the day, no self respecting Sting-Ray rider would be caught dead with a Wheelie-Bar on his bike.
We prided ourselves on how far we could ride a wheelie without the aid of such gimmicks.
Maybe that's why they are so rare to find today.
They may not have been that popular.
Or once a kid got teased to death for having one on his bike, he probably pulled it off and threw it in the trash, and learned to ride a wheelie the proper way.
Great find, for sure!
Definitely, a blast from the past.

Ditto, girly toys. In my neighborhood, ya wouldn't be caught dead wit that. On the other hand, a rat fink tee would have been da spit.

You guys were right, the bent tab was worse than expected.

After I broke it, I listed it for sale (as broken) and it was snatched up by a collector in about an hour. I like it but was really disappointed once I broke it.
