1979 GJS
1979 GJS
Another original owner true survivor.
This belongs to a buddy of mine - he's hauled it around for 30 years just like I have. I convinced him to dig it out of the rafters, and I'm posting it until he decides to.
Tuff Wheels (anyone with rear coaster brake guts?)
Tuff Neck
Mongoose forks
Outside of the missing parts, it's all original.
And it comes with a true action shot!
Whenever someone says, "I'm not book smart, but I'm street smart," all I hear is, "I'm not real smart, but I'm imaginary smart."

all it takes is a couple of beers - and you can get your buddies in any position - to jump them with your bike of course. Cool bike

Re: 1979 GJS
i love how everything is exactly like it was 30 years ago but somehow the cranks have mysteriously switch sides
is that like when i don't go fishing all winter and when i get my pole out in the summer it looks like some kid has dedicated months to tying knots in my line ![]()

I flipped that picture to get same side as most the other GJS's out there. Didn't even notice the cranks. The box in the background is reversed. I'll fix it just for you! Sometime.

There was beer involved, and no death, so, as near as I can tell, that means yes. I seem to recall he did make it, but, they didn't go for 4.
