Paint doesnt look too good IMO, but its probably a fine 10' bike.

Hey Kenny,

Yeah, the paint in the pic doesn't look to perfect. It looks real rough. Its not AS bad in person. But thanks. :)

The brake/tail light looks really cool. I don't think I've seen that before!

It looked a little to plain. So I did my magic with a can of black spray paint.

haha, I know what you mean. I love that red. It was the original paint job from 1987, it was getting pretty horrid.
