1983 Thruster Tri-Power XL
1983 Thruster Tri-Power XL
As Found "Survivor"
Bought it from the parents of the original owner through a bike shop a few towns over. The mechanic at the bike shop is the same guy who built it for the owner almost 30 years ago and he recently tuned it up as well. The tires were shot so he changed them but everything else is original. The owner's folks brought it into the shop for the tune up because they were gonna ship it to him in Colorado. He was gonna use it as a daily commuter. When they told the mechanic this he talked them out of it telling them that if he leaves it outside it will get stolen. So they decided to sell it.
