I scored this bad boy after waiting all day at an auction sale. When it came to the three bikes they had they sold them choice. Right away I was upset but I figured if I was going to have any competition it would be for that bike as opposed to the 53 girls Hawthorne or the 73 collegiate. Well bidding was hot early because they started at ten bucks. It was down to me and a "metro' gal at 75 bucks. She kept bidding hard and I was not going to lose this bike after standing in the sun for 5 hours. Well, I finally won the choice at $260. So I took the La Salle. Then I bid on the the girls bike to $70. She won it and told me that she wanted the girls bike all along and was afraid I wanted it too. She is going to use the unreal paint and quality skip tooth girls bike as lawn art. Man ... can you believe it? I would have gotten the Schwinn for $75!
