    Mine was a Huffy Buckaroo, 1976. I thought it was called a Bronco until I did some research. I found some photos of it. Man o man, the cowboy stitched onto the seat was pretty darn cool.

    My first bike reminded me of the first post.

    I had a Mongoose with mag-wheels. Kind of like this one, except the mag-wheels were silver:

    I had a crap POS bike with plastic tires yeah PLASTIC, it was so bumpy riding that thing it would hurt the next day.. I think my next bike was a Huffy, and it had some kind of ugly neon green shield on the front of it, but at least it had rubber tires..

    But it was red and my brothers customized it with chopper forks and motorcyle handlebars.

    This was my second bike, but I had the little ten speed seat on it. Man, it was bad ass.

    Hell, that bike looks like the bike every single kid in my neighborhood had...all chrome with black tires.

    I only remember my parents buying me two bikes. The first one was a kiddie bike with training wheels. The second was a Western Flyer with blue tires...almost exactly like the Houston Oilers Columbia Blue. That thing was as light as a feather. The rest of my bikes were bikes that I jigsawed together with old parts from other bikes

    My first non department store bicycle was a Webco Replica very much like the one below.
