    Bike Lock vintage or others

    I think I have seen those on a lot european bike and most thieves are likely to move to next easiest unlocked bike when they see one with that lock. Your go to lock is much like the one I have the round lock on.

    Under $10.00 homemade sand blaster

    5 speed Cruiser

    My Maruishi cruiser I added a wonton engine to, rips pretty good but I am thinking of putting it back to manual cruiser mode. I don't see a lot of info on these bikes and they have a frame similar to the GT mountainbike seatstay style.

    Thanks,I do remember the dropouts they had three extra graduated holes and the "K". Sounds like it has some non original parts,any idea on fair market value as a whole or is it better to part it out?

    Fat Tire Flyer

    That's cool,when I was into road bikes in the early '80's I had a sub to Bicycling magazine and was reading about these "new" mountainbikes they were testing and I could not wait so I built one using an old raleigh frame and 26" BMX rims and derailleurs. The first Mountainbike to show up in the...

    Thanks for the reply AndyA. It is a Regal and does have two holes on the fender for the headlight. I put some new style aluminum rims with the Nexus 3 speed to make it more rider friendly.
