Let me start with MOOP 2. MOOP 1 was a Diamondback but my rim kept getting bent. It was still ridable but one early morning I looked at my local Craigslist and saw a garage sale ad for a Newspaper Bike. So I rode Cronus over there and she had it way in back behind years of accumulations only a average wife would do to a garage that thinks garages are for their stuff. So after what seemed like tons of stuff moved out of the way there it was. She wanted 60 bucks in the ad. I offered 40. SOLD!
Because of the graphics,I would say it's early 70's. Could be late 60's. It does ride SMOOTH though and it's been well kepty in storage all these years. It just needed a good greasing and it's absolutely a smooth bike,man. Did I mention this bike rides smooth. Seriously they don't make them quite like this anymore.
Look at this sticker:
Here's what I think it says:
Man if I had the old paper bags that went on this bike I'd be one happy camper.
So I salvaged my China engine from my Diamond Back and thanked him for a wonderful year. Here's MOOP 2!

Then it has those cool wheel guards up front and some old parts by the gooseneck that I believe had something to do with the paper bag."REWARD"
