What a morning!

Of all the luck!! Got up sunday morning and found an add on craigs list that said old schwinn for sale. I emailed to ask if it was still for sale and what it was. The owner told me it was his bike when he was a kid and when his mom died they where cleaning out the garage when he rediscovered the bike. When he said Manta ray I thought I should take a look. Sure enough there it was. BEST part it is a disc brake bike!! I could not believe the luck! I asked what he wanted for the bike and when he said $25.00 I just about fell over. Here she is in all of her rusty glory. I am going to flip the bike but what a find :mrgreen:

I know I have no right to be jealous, but man, that is just an awesome bike!

Wanna trade it for a 67 Ramshorn?

:shock: Man, what a score! Is this the one that was on Indy craigslist last week for like $400?

This is the stuff that makes you realize that despite most folks having Internet access
some people have still not caught on to the fact that anything old is probably worth
something today.

That bike should clean up nicely.
