Wow, love this very original Gran Touring in my sky blue color. Brings back memories of my bike new in '76 in a super tiny size.  re-cycle.com/bike.aspx?pic=5872 |

Amazing condition! That literally slipped through the time portal before anyone had chance to ride it? Kind of funny that the owner's selling point is a brand new saddle (It does look very good on it and probably a very decent/expensive saddle) but for many of us the selling point is the all original state. I love it when I see those reflectors on the wheels. You just know the bike is good from a distance when you catch site of those. And it has the front and back reflectors too and crank arm end caps. Wow! That is a very good looking bike. I wish my children were still small and had birthdays coming up |

Head tube doesn't look long enough for the Viscount transfer/decal!
Nice looking bike though, and a great condition for it's age

Wonderful bike with a great colour and good condition, and I love the Maxy chain set. Teeny weeny, though.

Wow! That is a very good looking bike. I wish my children were still small and had birthdays coming up The Origin 8 company has nice inexpensive "rescue" retro parts for 70's bikes. I used their quill stem on my Pro. Almost exactly the same shape as the original with a different bolt placement. Stella, the crank was a low spec SR Silstar, nothing fancy but still cool looking. I've got the same on my yellow version of the Gran Touring. On a separate note, I'm excited for you guys….1 week to go! |
