I was visiting family in Cleveland over the weekend, and I spotted a complete, what appeared to be 100% NOS or a perfect resto of a Stroker in blue. Box bars, single stem, black vinyl pads, etc.
The bike was literally 100% perfect, right down to the dropouts and stainless steel spokes. This was at the Friday's at Crocker Park shopping center in Westlake, Ohio. Right off of I90.

That sounds like Truetorch's stroker that was for sale a while back! It was a blue one with the correct decals that are so hard to find! What a shame! One less bike that will not ever see the Rock show!

I was at TGIF's in State College,PA and they have a perfect schwinn sting. It's immaculate. Made me so angry.

I don't know what to think about the whole TGIF thing.
I can also imagine some nutcase who collects, say, vintage kitchen implements. He goes to TGIF with his wife for a bite to eat, and sees a flour sifter screwed to the wall. He smacks his forehead and wails "Oh my God!! Honey, look at that!! A mint condition Dorkenhiemer Sift-o-Matic!! The first generation one with the wooden knob, not the plastic one like later models had! God, this is blasphemy! I can't believe someone just screwed it to the wall like that! There's barely any rust spots on it, it was mint until that hole got drilled through it! Now it's lost half it's value, blah blah blah blah...

Somewhere on the Internets I bet there is a forum like ours dedicated to collecting vintage sleds. You know, Flexible Flyers, etc. Guys are on there chatting about all the good times they used to have sledding and where all the good hills were BITD, posting pics of sleds they just finished restoring, Trying to find the correct era decals, crap like that.
Right now there is someone on there typing "I was in a TGIF's last night getting some food, and you guys won't believe what I saw screwed to the wall..."

Your probably right Mike, and I bet there is some Star Wars collectors ****ed off somewhere too. Mine has one of the huge Millennium Falcon screwed to the wall.

I don't think so! I just surfed the net looking for vintage sled and sift-o-matics and came up empty! Maybe Huntfart made both of those collector hobbies obsolete or extinct! We are next! LOL Maybe thats what happened to vintage canoes and wooden tennis raquets!LOL Dude ,Connors back in 74' used cat gut strung at 40lbs and Bjorg had his steel model at 56.4 pounds!Wow! I heard Grizzily Adams took his wooden Kayak down the Colorado river the whole way and did it in 6 days! Whithout the paddle made of whalebone and platypus beak!

out of curiosity, how was it displayed? Screwed to the wall or no?
Just curious because I'd imagine different locations might handle displays differently. Not to mention Huntcart said she was trying to instruct TGIF on how to mount them. Wonder if any of them listened...
Hey how bout that, another TGIF thread! Now excuse me I'm nailing GI JOE's and He-Man figures to my wall

The Mrs. & I had dinner a couple of weeks ago @ the one on I-45 south towards Galveston & I saw a mint nickel Mongoose W/ blue Tuff 1's , black onepiece cranks w/ that mongoose sprocket . I would have been SICK if I ever saw the gold NOS Patterson . There's not much decoration in that place , only a few things over a couple of tables heck.......Fuddruckers has more stuff in it than TGIF . There needs to be a BMX cafe like the Hard rock cafe .

Those idiots!

My wife and daughter went to Friday's the other day and, while I didn't see any BMX bikes, I also wondered about the other things screwed to the wall. Old wooden games, ancient containers, signs...all that old stuff. I even said something to my wife, "I bet there's some guy beating his head on the table because they drilled a hole in that old egg beater up there".
