Well I finally found a tank for a reasonable price after looking for a few years :)
Couldn't bring myself to pay a hundred or two for one,
So got this repro off of ebay for ~$50 shipped, good enough for me;)
It fits nicely on my typhoon, yeah!
Picked up these Ape hangers at a swap meet last year for a decent price too

Then recently went to Fridley Schwinn with RustyK on recommendation from Nick and Darcy, Thanks Guys

Tony there did a fantastic job of straightening my 4 forks and a couple of RustyK's stems
(turned them around in a day !!)
Also did frames and other parts for Nick and Darcy
Had to pick up a Black Ops Laid back seat post while there

This place has a bunch of repro stuff and old refurbished too (39 Monarch Aluminum fork?!)
Nice to find a local place with sissy bars and nanner seats that you can check out and measure before you buy

Here was the owner's original crate (not for sale) but absolutely loaded and really sweet

I think I saw this tag when I was a kid, "Not old enough to race a slingshot, Ride a crate" :)
