MASA Slingshot - For Sale or Trade (SOLD)

I have MASA Slingshot circa 1975 that I bought as a pile of bike parts. It now has a new chain, 2 new tires, cleaned, lubed and ready to ride. It still has the original seat. The only thing missing is one idler, other than that it is (as best as I can tell) original.

My husband, neighbor and I have been riding it and it is a blast. Why then you ask am I willing to part with it? Because I need something that I can ride on the road. Ground clearance on the Slingshot is just too limited for going over railroad tracks (which I have to do all the time)

What is it worth? Beats me so I will start off asking $1500.00 or best offer OR since I still need another bike what to you have that you will trade me for it? I could only post a thumbnail but you can email me for better and larger pictures.

 

You might try posting it on Bent Rider Online and eBay as well. You need as much exposure as you can get.

 

I posted it on Bentrider and a couple of other forums also. I wanted to offer it to the bent community first. Probably will post it on eBay eventually.

I can modify it so that it rides higher and then it would be a good road machine. I just don't like taking a hacksaw to something that is considered a classic. Hoping to find a collector that wants it.

We have been riding it in the parking area. No matter how fast we hit the turns we still can't get it to lift a wheel. In my research on the MASA I found references to it having been designed for track racing.

 

It's up on eBay now. I knew $1500 was way out of the ball park for it, so I was open to all offers. As of this morning over 2200 people have looked at the ad. I have never seen so much activity on an ad before. I still need a 2 wheeler. Any body have one or a frame they want to sell (under $500)?

 

MASA Slingshot - Sold

Well the Slingshot did indeed sell on eBay. Buyer was ecstatic beyond belief. He had owned one previously that had been stolen. We established that mine wasn't his. He said he had been looking for one agin for about 5 years. Great place eBay.
