ok, im driving down the road the other day and i just happen to notice 2 young girls riding bikes. one is on some mountain bike and the other is on a looptail and it looked like a trickstar. i was going 50 mph so i didnt have a lot of time to get a good look.

so, i pull into the neighborhood and figure i will find them. sure enough first block i pull up around there the 2 girls are. they were at the door of i assume a freinds house. i yelled to the girls asking if the black bike was theres. the girl says yes its hers and her dad built it for her. she said it wasnt for sale and i let it go. i didnt want to scare them or seem creepy in anyway. i had to simply forget about it.

however, it WAS a trick star and it was in nice shape. no good parts but the frame-fork. bad luck, but oh well.............

"Her Dad built it for her". I hate that, lol. It was probably his when he was a kid. Oh well.

ohhh, im sure it was his as a kid. the bike was mismashed froma bunch of eras and it wasnt nice at all. i dont want to judge but i feel the girl was riding it because maybe her parents didnt have money for a new bike.

if i would have flipped her a 150 bucks she could have gone out and gotten a bike she really wanted. but like i said, this was a yound child and by no means did i want to frighten her or make her nervous.

I've seen a few kids on old school bikes around where i live but i never have the nerve to ask if they wanted to sell it because of being too "creepy or weird" to them. But i guess theres nothing to gain if you don't at least ask.
