I have a red one like that, but with much worse fenders. It has pneumatic tires, IIRC it depends on the year if they have the hard tires or not. Nice deal. I have training wheels on it for my several grandkids. :)

There are single speed, 2-speed kickbacks, and 5-speeds. The single and 2-speed I believe are all middle weight 26" wheels. In the early 70s, IIRC, the 5speeds went to a light weight tire. All were 26". I agree, the idler seems to be behind the pedal. The 5 speed has the drum brake, and the...

I love mine, but it is the 5 speed, and the wife has no brakes. :dance2:

Great to see you out and about again. Getting my in-laws on bikes, may have to get some pics of them! :thumbsup:

53 temporarily. Soon to hit that 54, guess I'd rather do that than stop...

Odd, I live here and never heard of this. Will have to see if I cam make it. :)

Ride it. :D I need to get a tube in mine, and then find time to ride when the wife doesn't want to take out the tandem. :cool2:

Welcome from Des Moines, Ive picked up a few parts at Ichi.

Very cool. I love old pics like this. Thank you for sharing them!

Any idea what this is? http://desmoines.craigslist.org/bik/4237811849.html And yeah, I know long tandem is redundant. :)

Welcome from a medium-age guy from central Iowa??? Des Moines.

Nice to see someone from my area. :) I recognized the Galaxy Flyer from the DSM CL. I like it, but I tend more toward original bikes, 60s and 70s. Good job on getting it for a good price. Lot of good info on this board! Good luck on your build!

Re: FACEBOOK WOW - 100K!!! I might jump feet-first, but I never dive. :D Too shaollow!

Thanks for wishing me a great day! Oh, wait, is your name Garry, too? :lol: Welcome to the site!

Should I rush out and get this? :) http://desmoines.craigslist.org/bik/4139263105.html

Wife's '82- Since converted to Tourist mode, since she didn't like the drop bars, and they needed re-taped, anyway. My '72-
