=>> Wal42 my specific thanks for your efforts & offering your experience to inspect and then inspecting on my behalf, it really was very much appreciated.

For those considering this item Refer to the listing "photo 10" above the down tube shifters 10-20mm from the head tube lugs. The extra photos taken and provided by Wal42 clearly show the stress lines in the frame tubing paint with rust onset. Also note that turning the item upside down released rusty water from the Head Tube and the Seat tube.

On Flea Bay:
1) Know what you are buying,
2) Ask the necessary questions,
&
3) Above all wherever possible have an experienced set of eyes review the item in question and offer to you their frank assessment.

Notwithstanding this, it may be prudent to amend the listing, in light of what you now know regarding the overall condition of the frame.

The bike was given to me, but being in the senior/retirement age bracket and not having ridden a bike for 40 or so years, I have decided that something a little less "racey" is probably better (safer!!) for me.

Interesting brake levers. And any idea what that rear derailleur is? I would have guessed a Tourney or RS but there's a cut out in the body.

Sorry, quoted post was a couple pages back - The RD & brake levers look like shimano adamas, part of the early 80s shimano aero gear, cranks look like they are also this model which have an interesting splined bottom bracket and external facing bottom bracket cups.

If you want this sort of coin, give it a wash.

"The head-stem bolt is missing, but I can't see it rattling loose in a hurry". I can see it "rattling loose" in a big hurry, and it's not pretty...

"General condition light rust"
BAHAHAHAHA!
Would you like some steel with your rust?

Some seriously deluded bike sellers on eBay.
I love old Skool bmx bikes and some folk think they'll bat $2400 for a skyway with modern bits fitted. . Dreamers.

The term "Old - Mid - New School BMX" annoy's me as much as "fixie" does these day.

You can't buy patina like that.
