PLAYBIKE "88"

[KOTA]

Someone I worked with said: If you EVER find one of these (showed me a pic), BUY it for me! I'm about to see if he's a man of his "word". Picked it up at the swap meet in Dudley MA. Spent about a 1/2 hour cleaning, so far.

Imagine that, I almost fell on the floor when I saw KOTA walking around with a 20" bike. I was pretty sure he said he would never buy a 20" bike. LOL. Just admit it's for you!!!

Nice to see you today man,
Dan

Nice clean bike !!!

NOT mine Dan!.......I emailed a pic to him, and he went "nuts". He's really a good friend, and has done things for me in the past.......My wife and I decided to give him the bike as a gift.
Dan, this guy is a "normal" size person, he'll actually be able to ride it!

I remember when I had a bike abit like that one. back then I never really cared much for older bikes so it sat at the camp site for years then was crushed with abunch of other bikes, now all these years i'm trying to get these sins forgiven by saving all I can. theres a banana seat bike and a bigger bike up there and old couple said I could have, i've yet to retirve them though. that one there is pretty cool. mine had same front end but they where suspention forks

Remember what it looked like? Chrome was heavily pitted with rust, paint had a grunge coat over it. Seat was yellow, like nicotine......Well I used a secret weapon, but I'll share. BRILLO pads, warm water, on EVERYTHING, including the seat. Dried it, then Turtle Wax. I had no idea it was going to come out this nice. It really looks as good as the pics.

:wink:

Just for the record: I would NOT recommend using BRILLO pads on a bike that has a "rattle" can paint job! Bikes with ORIGINAL paint....are usually baked on.

A significant improvement over what I saw you walking around with. Very nice bike. You and both I bought bikes for friends. We're such good guys.

Dan rides his little bikes. I've seen it and I still can't figure it out.
