It's too bad they didn't sell well, they are beautiful. Are you discontinuing all of the glitter colors?
yep, the silver too. But at this rate, what I have on hand will last quite a while.

Sales in general are quite low. I caught the wave in 2010. It was worth it. But I think I see the end of Thompson Grips coming. I hope I can find someone to buy the mold for the ball ends at some point.
 
Here is one I built for a build off a couple of years ago
An image of that one currently resides on my phone

I think this old Loop tail is going to be my step thru entry. I think it’s a Colson, not sure. There’s at least 2 layers of thick house paint on it so I’m going to have to strip it down.

I think that serial# is a double stamped 3 then G 3000

If anyone has a tank for this they want to sell hit me up. 👍

You’re just going to have to go the easy route and build a tank. 😂 I got lucky with my step thru find. My first bike to come with a tank. That is one sexy frame! 💃🏽
 
These numbers aren't inspiring. No one wants to play with me in the MBBO. :(
I'm in, but won't exactly be playing with you. I'll be goofing around in the parking lot next to the arena where you play. Maybe my project will inspire @Mattis_son to get started on a build. He's outgrown his Electra, thinks he can just have my 24" BMX for his own
 
September does start at midnight. I just checked and that's in just under half an hour in Australia! Though I do think the official time is Central time US?
 
I am planning to do a step thru, but things are really busy here. I have 5 bikes in the garage to repair that belong to friends and neighbors. Word is out that JJ fixes bikes and it’s hard to keep up.

I also accepted a separation package from my employer. It was voluntary. After 18 years with a very large company, I was offered over a year’s pay to take a hike. I accepted and my last day is September 13!!!!

Not retiring though. I am already in negotiations with a new employer and hope to start sept 14th.

But I cannot resist, and will somehow find time. Might just be a late start for me.

I have at least 3 step thrus to choose from.
