I bought my first "big boy" bike w/money I'd saved from Christmas, birthdays and endless chores when I was 10 in the late 60's. I had saved just over $30 in a small glass piggy bank. $28.99 for the sweetest black 3-speed you ever saw in your life. Like this, only black frame, seat, grips, trim, etc. Look at all that chrome!! No way I was going to spend $4 of my bike fund on a watch! Now a pair of X-Ray glasses...that might be worth a few bucks....
