Re: 1981 Murray Baja 26
Still be keeping a keen eye out for the discerning bike thieves that know their gear... In the meantime, rock n roll! Is the seat like a Brooks Brothers kind of seat or what exactly is a "messengers" seat? Looks damn cool IMHO.

Re: 1981 Murray Baja 26
I had one of them fixed up as my winter commuter. A bit heavy, but combined
with studded tires, she kept me upright! I miss that bike!!!
Don't be that guy!

Re: 1981 Murray Baja 26
I lived in NYC for a couple years and appreciate the "beat by racks and chains" patina. When i moved back to Seattle I actually built a 26" cruiser as an homage. I customized the finish to have that "beat" look to it.
Nice build.
