An 'antique' made in 1981...I guess that makes me a fossil .

Lesson learned! I troll FB Marketplace and CL every day looking for bikes. I always use the "bicycles" category. Well today I searched "antique bicycle" and this post came up from 3 months ago. It wasn't listed in the "bicycle" category so I may have missed it. I messaged the seller, but probably too late...

On CL, I go to antiques, then type in bikes. That's the trick I used back in Florida to find some good deals on old bikes. A lot are still ridiculous, but a few good ones show up. Now I'm scanning the Hawaii ads, but the antique section isn't turning up anything.

I wonder how many old bikes you'll be able to find there, alot of the bikes we all like were made before Hawaii was a state.

Sure did! A very good price for that bike. I would be all over it if I had room for it in my garage.

Can't help you there. I still have an orange and white road master in my garage!

But, it did have military bases before it was a state...so plenty of soldiers, sailors, and marines that needed cheap transpo. However, it is surrounded by evil salt water, so, the odds of surviving the decades intact enough to use might be another issue

Is it just me or does this strike you as particularly boneheaded?

Found this vintage add on the norwegian equivalent of CL. A guy was wanting to buy the shorts pictured.
