This one was a pick I did in exchange fore some scrape metal I had. He was going to junk thins thing, as i am sure most people would have. The wheels, handlebars, and cranks were all rusty (don't get me started on the chain), and after all it is a kids bike. Took a few months to get motivated on it but, It wasn't really as bad as it seemed. The biggest issue was leaning that this bike needs 18" tires and tubes, these were not at any store (more or less extinct size) however, it dose make the duro a size between 16" and 20", and that's kind of cool! This bike also gave me an opportunity to repack a 70's era coaster brake with lube and see how they work. It's for sale if Anyone wants to provide a kid with a super solid classic bike with between 16" and 20" wheels, its so strongly built that i personally test road it.
I just got one for free by my house! My daughter is very excited to ride it! She is 5 years old and I need to replace the tires tubes and chain! Love the mushroom grips and the cool drag style handle bars! Same color and built like a tank!
