Title: ooooh look what I just bought on eBay
Post by: deckfourtyfour on November 04, 2005, 04:39 PM
Been looking for an oldschool project for a while, and wanted it to be a 'goose after owning one in about '87 for about 6 months.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7193180553&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fsearch.ebay.co.uk%3A80%2Fws%2Fsearch%2FSaleSearch%3Fsofocus%3Dbs%26satitle%3D7193180553%26sacat%3D-1%2526catref%253DC5%26from%3DR7%26nojspr%3Dy%26pfid%3D0%26fsop%3D1%2526fsoo%253D1%26fcl%3D3%26frpp%3D50%26fvi%3D1

Feel like I got a Friday bargain, but not as knowledgeable about o/s stuff.

My first bike with red Araya 7x's if the one in ad had black pads could have been my bike. Get down the gym and build yerself up their hevy fookers! Strong though.
