Postby LarzBahrs on Mon Mar 26, 2012 8:57 pm

Just found this at a local fleamarket this weekend. I was walking down the aisle and I saw glint of gold and when I saw it was on a rim I dang near started sprinting towawd it :D :D Its in awesome condition, I think it was just used as a grocery getter for a better part of its life. Does anyone have any info on these things? I cant find anything on the it :cry: :cry:

Yeah it's a beauty, I'm always tempted to pick up a pair of those glow in the dark grips when I see them.

I have rebuilt one before, but not nearly as nice. Cool find. Similar to the Schwinn Sidewinder.

Definitely a great collection of gold goodness on that bike.

I like how they mimicked the "Sidewinder" logo on the down tube. :D

Awesome bike, I've seen some frames on Ebay from time to time but other than that I know nothing about them either.
Great FIND!

KHS Made some real nice bikes back in the day..I have a nice tall road bike with some high end components on it..You dont see to many around..? Good luck with it looks like it's in great shape..
If it ain't broke, and you mess with it long enough, it will be.

Great bike, can you share the price so we can all decide it we would've bought it too?

BTW- Nice socks. :P

I picked it up for 120 believe it or not, most bike stuff here at the flea market is ridiculous, People are asking regularly over 300 for stuff :( Thanks they are Haynes haha

For $120 I'd have grabbed it.

As a whole or parts I think you could easily double your money, but I'd buy it at that price to ride.
