I picked this one up at an auction yesterday. If you can pick it up in KC it can be yours for $105 I have not even washed it yet. The horn honks and even came with new tires.

Why is it that you can find women's bikes more often than men's? I thought boys rode bikes more and a lot more of those would have been sold, waiting to be found somewhere, yet it's the girls bike that pop out. Maybe the boys wiped out and crashed/bent the heck out of their bikes more while the girls' quietly sat in a garage all these years?

You got it. Boys tore off the tank, fenders, and everything else that weighted you down. Since most girls can't operate a screwdriver or wrench, their bikes are usually minty with no messed up bolt or screw heads. The only damage I consistently see on girls bikes is at the bottom of the rear fender. That's because the boys followed the girls and bumped against their rear fender...a little love bump. :mrgreen: Gary
i know they came with s7s(since it was a middle weight) but it looked like they were wider and the fact that they had new tires(i know theres some that still make 26x1 3/4)seemed like theyd be s2s(i am probably mistaken though.....wouldnt be the first time :lol: )

looks like s-7s to me, the fenders look like they have plenty of room ... but if it does have s-2 rims they could have put 1.75 tires on it too. i just know balloon tires are really tight for space with middleweight fenders. heckuva price none the less. just for the deluxe guard and 2 speed hub alone !!!
Those look like repop S7 tires, they have bigger whitewalls than og Westwinds. I have a set that are either kendas or Hwa fongs. ~Adam
