This is the first bike I ever bought myself. Its a 1971 Murray steel diamond frame 5 speed. Originally orange metallic. I "misplaced" it about 10 years ago, thought it was gone , a visit to my brother's house found it hanging in his garage, covered in grease and grime. So, took it home, stripped it to bare metal, sent it to my painter who laid the Black Mica base/clear. All new bearings, races, axles, chain, freewheel, tires/tubes, seat, grips, lights. Trued the wheels, polished the existing chrome (which somehow survived 37 years with NO pitting!), recabled it, and here you have it. Black racer was my everyday transportation for about 6 years. I estimate him to have no less than 3000 miles covering the City of Miami in my youth. And he rides as good now as when new. I LOVE THIS BIKE!!!!
