Several years ago, I bought a bicycle, hoping to ride it for a little exercise. It was a standard, upright bicycle, with six gears and handbrakes. I can't get comfortable on the thing, my legs are too long to sit back, and the handlebars are too far away to sit upright. I basically feel like I'm taking my life into my own hands every time I get on this bike.

I used to spend hours riding around my home town on a Schwinn Manta Ray (24") I borrowed from my neighbor, the bike i question looks like it would be just as comfortable, with the added bonus of having a coaster brake. I'd like to get this bike, does anyone know of a similar package, maybe even with a higher sissy bar with a padded headrest, a springer front end, and a rack I can use to transport small quantities of snacks/liquor back to my abode?

Oh, and if you have to ask what the price of a vintage krate in mint condition is worth, then you can't afford it.

The 1971 Grey Ghost by far is the rarest and most covetted. I was a bicycle mechanic and racer many years. If I know one thing, I know bicycles.

Those were rich kids bikes, as I recall. I still think the shifter location was brilliant, but that's prolly why I've never won a Nobel Prize for Ergonomics in the Face of Declining Elite Fertility.

Do you think the bike in the URL I posted at the top of this article is worth it? I'd gladly pay it, but I don't want some piece of crap made of tin. I realize for $500 I'm not going to get a state-of-the-art piece of engineering, either.
