Saw this trailer a couple of nights ago [a friend sent me the link exclaiming - 'i saw some of them kids bikes you like in this']

Its set in 1979 so thats going to narrow the search field down a bit, that is if they've gone era correct

Anyone see the red Schwinn Competition Scrambler I restored, in Super 8?

A Prop Company contacted me, I sold them my Scrambler, then I put on several Wanted ads for Mongoose and the like for the movie, since the Prop Director asked if I knew of anyone with certain bikes.  Only one person responded to the wanted ad.  I guess most people thought it was a scam
