(...) Mine had it on sale (or Rollback, or whatever) for $7.88. It's not a terrible set, with 200 pieces, but it's not great. The main body of the bike, as well as the front fork and whatever the back "fork" is called are each one-piece elements, (...) (22 years ago, 27-Feb-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
