Picked these up today.
The Murray will be a parts bike and the Lotus will make some roadie happy.
The best part was when I asked the store manager about the pricing because there were no price tags. He comes out and looks them over and says (in Spanish accent)..."hmmm...how about $65 for the pair?....that lady's bike is an antique!" I then asked if they made this stuff up as they went along...ha ha. :lol: I told him it wasn't an "antique" and it was probably made in the 80s or 90s. He then said..."No way..it's an antique...just look at the tires!" I then said...you can buy white walls at any bike store... they are not antiques. I told him the best I could do was $40 for the pair...he then says..."how about $50?" which I then responded by saying I'd pass and as I was walking away he says..."OKAY OKAY...$40!"...ha ha. Gotta love bartering.
