Notes:

This bike was originally my grandpa’s, which he then gave to my dad. It doesn't have very many miles on it and is in great condition. The parts are mostly original that I know of accept for new tires and tubes. I also have the original saddle bag and owner’s manual that came with the bike. It's a very solid ride, much to big for me though. If anyone knows anything more about this bike, any history would be great to know.

commemorative?

Submitted by Bebop on 07/03/2009.

I wonder if this might commemorate the 100th anniversary of independence? I have seen other 1976 commemorative bikes.

In any case, it is very nice.

I had never though of that before, but it seems likely, 200th Anniversary that is.
