So crusied into my LBS (the largest Electra dealer on the East Coast) to visit a friend who works there, and lo and behold, a brand new still in box Flying Sue 3i was sitting in the back room. My first response was WTH? I thought they were all LONG gone. Upon asking my buddy, he informed me that when they were discontinued the owner bought the remaining 36 or so Electra had (Electra's main warehouse is apparently only 30 minutes from my house) They proceeded to sell them on ebay and through their online store until all were gone, so they thought. Long story short, this one was shuffled around and the box was stuck in with the BMX box's and it was located only 5 days ago. I asked if I could purchase it, and the response was of course a yes, and due to it being written off as lost last year, I was able to score it for a very modest price.... Here she is in all her pinup glory, my Electra Flying Sue!
ps: boy, does she ride like a dream, plans include springer front end to start, whitewalls, headlight, a more comfy saddle and different grips.
Now for two quick snaps I took leaving my LBS!
Was so excited I left my car at the shop and rode the bike 2 miles home, promptly removed reflectors in wheels.... lol
