 Purple tomahawk.

Also stolen, but never left me with the same trauma as my Galen action figure getting lost.
Hello,

Stolen? Is that how you lost it or acquired it?

Lost it unfortunately. I lived in a rough neighbourhood.

 I had one of these which is selling now for $1700 on ebay. Nostalgia makes people do some kookie things.

Nice! My brother-in-law has a restored one, but I can't recall which color. All very collectible.

I don't know, a regular ass kids bike. Don't think it had multispeed.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Mine was a used girls bike of unknown origin, it probably previously belonged to one of my cousins. I remember it had been repainted a dull yellow. When I complained about having a girls bike my parents reminded me that I was left-handed.

What's the connection? Maybe that's why I got a girl's bike.

No, and it didn't have skid marks on it either. :lol:

my first bike was the cheapest 10-speed bicycle they had, a no-brand store model and I loved it and rode it for 2 years as it slowly disintegrated. Got it as my Christmas gift.
