Did I buy a Bonanza??

[mmisterbungl]

I had talked to an older gentleman on CL about a week ago when i saw an ad on CL that had no pics but stated that he was selling a frame with wheels and sprocket for $75. He lives about 30 minutes from me and I never really got a chance to get over to him during the work week. Today I noticed that he relisted at $50. So I called him and he agreed to meet me half way. When I finally got to him, here's what I purchased for 40 bucks. From what I have seen, I may have a Bonanza, but what model? What's missing, what's original, what's not etc...

It's not the first time it's happened to me here,but it will be the last time I try to help someone in this category !

thats one reason I dont usually ID them. another is most people dont even make an effort to look it up them self.

 

[bigevilone2]

This is what confused me.

He was one of the persons I ID'ed a bike for and gave the correct answer to someone else who told him the difference between some wheels. ut:

 

[jbrewton]

amazing

Half this thread is whining and only half even relates to the original question.
Give a newbie a break!
Maybe I should jump on a bridge for selecting the wrong answer!
I thought oldminibikes was supposed to be fun??

It's the the Oprah show for Christ's sake!
