Picking this up locally today for $85 , he was trying to sell it on eBay for a lot more . It is all original with the exception of the seat , which was a Velo Gripper that cracked and has been replaced with a Viscount General. The frame and fork are made of hi-ten steel, it has Schwinn Mini-Low Profile freestyle chrome handlebars , an MX 550 stem, Chang Star FS890 front brake w/Tech 4 lever, 165mm cranks, Predator Zytel white mags stamped 10/87 w/Suntour Coaster Brake, and White Cheng Shin 20x1.75 tires. It still has the original mushroom style grips and even has the original chain guard.

The tires are 23 years old , and are holding air , I'm guessing they aren't the original tubes , but I wouldn't be surprised if they were .
