Just drove 740 miles for this Laguna cruiser....
I woke up yesterday around 5AM to get the coffee percolatin' and check emails. I find a PM waiting for me from a fella named Jay in Australia that basically says, "Hey Ryan, since you're into cruisers check out this link...". It's an ad posted the night before for a Laguna cruiser and a phone number.
Next thing I know I'm driving 6 hours to Modesto, CA to pick up this heap. What can I say...the price was right...
4130 Laguna frame
Rear hub dated 12/79.....front dated 12/80
B.S. stamped Dirt Skirt
Persons seat
Seat post is stuck. I hit some of the surface rust on the Cook Bros fork with some 0000 steel wool and it shined up like new.
Stoked! 
WANTED:
Minty or NOS Araya 26" hoops...blue or red.
black high flange Bendix 76 coaster hub
1/2" KKT Magnesium pedals

Re: Just drove 740 miles for this Laguna cruiser....
I don't even know what I'm looking at but something tells me it is Super Cool!
That's a long drive, but if "the price was right", then I'd say it was worth it.

I'd have walked that distance for that bike. Well, walked only one way. The other way I would have cruised in style. Helluva find!
