Sweet Bike - I've always had a soft spot for Jackpiners in any flavor.

My first Penton was a 1976 Jackpiner - the one that had the worlds first lay down shock long travel (9") suspension. Those gas Ceriani's sure were sweet - while they lasted.....

JC,

That thing is BAD!  Thanks for helping bring such a cool machine to life.  We need more bikes like this out and about.
