The formerly cool paperboy bike was replaced by swifter, streamlined racers with shifting speed gears and "stop on a dime" hand brakes.
But nothing truly loved is ever really abandoned forever.

Just needed a little loving care

Jeff's was the first bike I had seen or ridden as a kid with the "two speed kickback" and I always wanted one. I finally bought one 4 or 5 years ago off of ebay in Indiana. A copper colored bike with rat trap and low handle bars, unlike Jeff's ape hangers. A fun ride and the kick back was better than I remembered. Being 6'1 or so, the small frame made it a little uncomfortable to ride, so I passed it on to Devin (my shorter best man) who now uses it regularly in Boise with his fiance on her mid sixties Schwinn from her youth. I have been scratching my head trying to remember which hub he has..... double red, yellow, or blue?
