Default Lawwill Pro-Cruiser
A friend of mine has had a Lawwill Pro-Cruiser gathering dust in his garage for many years. He's thinking of selling it or preferably trading it for a classic 60's surfboard (his main passion). We've had conversations about it over the years. I'm thinking of making him an offer. It looks fairly close to running order. Original paint, some rust on fork, decals missing; he does have the owner's manual!Can't decide if I want another project or not...sometimes just maintaining my regular ride seems plenty, what with job, kids, 'n all. I still haven't built the Matchless motorcycle basket-case I started about twenty years ago. Come to think of it, I haven't finished the jeep I started thirty-three years ago either... Maybe a bike is more within my grasp...whaddya think? Should I get it? It's definiely cooler than my '86 KHS.

No you're right. The RSVP option is gone again. Else we're both in the semi-banned dog house Ethan.

I'd have a hard time passing that one up if it was within my reach. If you have any passion at all for vintage mountain bikes, grab that one while the offer is open to you and hasn't hit the market.

Too bad that's a 1996 posted by a seller with fat fingers.

Default I'll be there!
It looks like my '98 Fisher Genesis Hardtail will qualify (w/1996 XTR). Sure wish I had kept my 1994 Mountain Cycle San Andreas, that was the bike I used to ride the Fullerton loop with.

hey Gregg...any chance of adding a Vintage parts swap/sale to this event?
I have some old stuff laying around might be a good way to defer my gas/beer cost.
Cheers Billy
