nice collection, but I remember these as being heavy, slow, and handled poorly. and no matter how much adjustment was made, the brakes on the rear didn't work that good. I don't remember ever seeing any ever made with front brakes. and I assembled every one that was sold at the local walmart.

I own the black one with orange flames. When I first bought it the guy just simply wanted $5 for it and I said yeah might as well. When I got it lubricated I had it on the road for around a year no problems what so ever. I let my siblings occasionally ride it but they kept laying it on its side where it could've been stolen like the bike I gave to my brother when I got the one I'm referring to. So I stopped them from riding it without me insight and stored it away until I was ready to get back on the road. I've only had this bike breakdown a handful of times most were simple and easy fixes. Finding rear wheels for this bike in particular is quite costly. But finding any other part was cheap. Now I almost have it completely motorized just need to mount the fuel tank and the new exhaust and I'll have not exactly the way I want it but close enough.

You are welcomed to them, but they do have some rust spot that need steel whool cleaning. My Dad purchased both and had actually thicked the base of the black & pink and put a gas motor on it for my 10yo daughter with no working brakes and her male friend kept excellerating right into the dead end culdesac. Needless to say, I was mad and made him remove the motor. I Miss my Dad as much today and it is just as painful as the eve he took his lasts breaths going on 4yrs on February 27th.

hey i need some help, i have a really rusty red and chrome one, exactly like the one you got from the guy from indiana, but mines in really bad condition and it’s basically a rust ball. im restoring it since its so pretty but i cant seem to find a serial number reader that works for it. do you know what year its from? i want to know some details about the bike but mine doesnt say them. it has a sticker near the pedal area with a number i assume is the date since it says “date” and a ton of characters after. the characters are: “CP0615JD”. when i look them up in a serial number reader thing it says its from july of 1978 but i dont think thats right since the last two letters of my code is “JD” and thats supposed to mean it was manufactured on 2004. it also has a string of numbers and letters imprinted into the metal at the bottom, below the pedals. that string of characters is “SNGNP04G39200” but when i enter it into any serial number interpreter, none seem to recognize it. the only visual difference my bike has from yours is that mine doesnt have that front red wheel cover type thing but i think its because it was broken off at some point due to its conditions. if anyone knows any detals or has any ways to help me, please contact me here or in my instagram @Jeez_uhs
