The Faded Fleetwood

randy · July 20, 2018, 07:15:15 AM

Scrolling through FBM the other day, went right past what I thought was just another weathered warrior. Along came lunch time and I was scrolling again, this time I saw the same post but something caught my eye. I'm glad I opened it up and looked, there she was in all of her 26" glory. I always say there's nothing in my area, but they're out in the wild yet. Patience pays off, I've wanted a 26" for some time and it's finally landed.

That's a very nice score!!! At first, I thought you were the one that sniped the $40 flattop 26er in Elyria, OH before I could get to it.

Nope, but I did shell out $30 for this one. It was about 2 miles from my house.
