My brother and I both got this bike for Christmas in 1976. They were extremely heavy and actually made by Montgomery Ward. Been looking for one to put into my old "toy" collection.
My brother and I received these bikes as a gift from our grandparents. Amazingly this bike probably saved my life in 1977. I was struck from behind by a car going fairly fast. The impact with the rigid chassis of the bike knocked me over the handlebars. The bike and I both survived with just scratches, and a bent pedal. On the down side, it was very heavy. I really liked the look of the bike at the time.
Due to recent events, I'm limiting comments to google account holders only. Sorry if you're a decent person affected by this but the spam has gotten weird.
Don't forget a baseball card wedged on the tire to make a "motor" sound.
ReplyDeleteThis is like the Evel Knievel bike!
