Impressive_Wrap_7869 on June 26, 2026 3:46 pm Awesome! That’s a 1990, I just picked up a teal 1990 with purple logos. Slowly adding some sweet purple accents and some raised bars.
c4sport on June 26, 2026 3:55 pm I’m supposed to be getting this bike, same paint too. Yours looks great, similar to how I’m hoping mine comes out. Loving the front spoke decor too.
