Wow I found my favorite bike of all time- on Ebay

Not the exact model. The exact bike. At first I thought, man this bike looks familiar. First I see the oury grips I put on. Then the short Thompson stem. Then I see the bike dealer decal from a tiny shop in Nebraska I ordered from - the seller and I live 2000 miles away from that shop. That sealed it for me. Then I realized I could check my ebay feedback and sure enough the seller is there. I hardly rode the bike because it was too big for me, but I used it on easy paths. The seller didn't use it much since it was too small for him-he rode mostly on roads. So it's pretty sparkly. That 853 was incredibly comfy and sucked up all the hits. It was like going over bumps on a couch.

My first reaction was "I gotta get it back!" But I just bought a Fender
Stratocaster and I need something to plug it in. Bummer. You don't get a chance like this very often.

Oh, and he's off by three years.

Ive got a nice flame red usa standard. So easy to play with a great action.

England beer?

nah it's Tanqueray Green


Fender made about 100 US guitars in honor of a Prince's Trust fund concert
for a contest sponsored by Tanqueray.

I wasn't a winner. I was a second owner.
