Ingolas - Finds up north!

[ingola]

Mine was also a one speed just like that with regular handlebars. I had a bike shop in Alameda lace up a set of Z rims to a SA 3 speed w coaster. I rode it in 83 and 84 to work in the Philippines. Through Olongapo City out to Cubi Point Operations. 5 miles in one direction. The bike was kept at home in Florida later but disappeared.

Before that we had no mountain bikes in Canada 81-82 Rockey mountain standed and Norco moved to mountain bikes

It's here Norco custom cruiser

Everything about it is so freaking good, he was just riding around and around the block grinning when he got it home. Even found a few other things under a tarp that we'll probably be heading back for. Two of these guys, pretty rare 80s trail bikes by a Taiwanese BMX company:

Plus a bright pink BRC with a crazy bent top tube, a Norco faux mixte, a steel Rockhopper frame and fork, that cantilever BRC, the Tange Maxxam... I don't know what to focus on!
Ingola definitely took the cream though, that norco cruiser is a dream score, we've both been looking for a few years

Oh yeah if you want them, I dug out the pegs. Shiny new pair, or old and battered. I don't know if they'd work with the derailleur hanger though

Joe Murray Kilauea! That's another rare one! Kilauea was a sneaky one, came in above hahana/fire mountain or lava dome/cinder cone, but just below Explosif. Various exotic tube sets were used. I'd like to see the brake booster on there too, I've got a feeling about that little bit. We need to see that, and the RM Hammer you mentioned

The Kona is probably Tange Prestige. This cat is 94, the one that guy has looks older, P2 (probably triple butted!) instead of shock

When I told Ms Dice, the Keeper of Matti's Common Sense, she was about 85% certain that you payed someone for the right to steal someone else's bike

I heard that those cranks flexed, had fitting problems and surface quality issues. I think you should just throw them on the porch next to @MattiThundrrr fenders.....
