The bike was ahead of its time and misunderstood. I have a picture and it will show the power of the fake tank combined with the short throw cranks. I don't even want to talk about brake slides with the coaster brake on that bike...

I saw Star Wars at least 8 times
Had the pac-man pattern memorized
And I've seen the stuff they put inside
Stretch Armstrong

I was Roger Stauback back in my back yard
Had a shoebox full of baseball cards
And a couple of Evil Kinevil scars
On my right arm
Well, I was a kid when Elvis died
And my mama cried

Chorus:
It was 1970- something
In the world that I grew up in
Farrah Faucett hair-do days
Bell bottoms and 8-track tapes
Lookin' back now I can see me
And oh, man did I look cheesy
But I wouldn't trade those days for nothin'
It was 1970-something

Those shoes sure look a lot like the K-Mart suede Trax tennis shoes. 8 bucks brand new in 1975 as I recall...a kings ransom !
