    Re: Neat find! rf is 100% correct The pedals are incorrect it should have Red Line pedals on it and are tough to find. The grips should be gold Hunt Wildes it's hard to tell but your grips look like the later molded Huffy grips. Don't get me wrong this is an awesome find. This is only the...

    Dragstripper Clone

    Flightliner date help please

    I'm reassembling this right now after cleaning parts and blasting the frame. There was so much paint (5 or 6 different colors) I could not read the serial before sand blasting. Serial # 502 463010 982100. What year is the frame?? Thanks...Jim
