The Fleet (Part 3)

Wifey-Do found this bike on Craig's List while I was out of town. It's a "Coast King" bicycle, and this is exactly how it looked when I got it. I haven't done a thing to it other than switch the seat, a real butt killer, for one I ordered one from Schwinn. The new seat is designed for one of Schwinn's retro-cruisers, so it looks correct on the Coast King. The King is heavy and has only three gears, but you can get up to a pretty good speed just the same. I think the bike was made for the chain of Coast to Coast stores by Huffy.
