[hyena429]

I still got one...Its in the shed..Still got the rims and frame...seat and handle bars still there too.....Not sure what is missing.....ill have to check now....This brung me back....They must be rare...Cause i cant find any for sale...lol

[JackBanger]

I had one as a kid...went to the liquor store to buy some candy...and some guy was cycling away with my shit!

[40MetersCW]

I wanted one of these bikes after seeing the commercial. Never got one though. It looked cool, and was perfect for the kid who really rode a lot around their area like my friends and I did. It looks like one of the first mountain bikes or at lease a hybrid.

[movingzachb]

me to JB. I wanted this bike when I saw the commercial. Then my dad bought it for me for my birthday as a surprise. I rode the hell out of that bike. It was kinda cheap but lasted a long time for me. I loved it.

[JBPHOTOGRAPHY76]

Yep this is the commercial I saw as a kid and thought it was the fastest bike on earth and had to have one. I never did get this bike but I'm now an amature cyclist and compete in races. I think this commercial had an impact on me to say the least.

[ylesfitz8839]

I love the 80's ! ! Even have a trapjaw tattoo from Heman. And papa smurf,, but I didn't love this commercial or the song,,, wana kick his neck off!

[kungfukop]

I'm pretty sure they were going for a Sting & The Police sound....it's similar to "Roxanne".

[RetroDork74]

You know it is an old commercial when you see the store name "Service Merchanise." Cool commercial, though! Love 80's Retro stuff!

[tuberumor]

Thanks for posting this! One of my favorite bikes.

[ritomtz]

love the song 80s all the way

[hiroshima32]

that was one of the best bikes I ever had...

[pimlico108]

Holy shitballs! A front brake!

[NostrilFish]

Oh man, I thought this was the coolest thing ever when I was 8.

[BermudaEntrepreneur]

@NostrilFish Me too! I wanted one of these bikes so bad! i thought it was the fastest bike ever invented!

[WiLLisSOiLL]

Holy shit this is old!I remember this ad back in the day just had to get one for Xmas.I think I have a picture of me washing it like it was my car.gotta love the 80s lmfao

[MrBillSattler]

Sweet ride!

[xOneWayStudiosx]

What the hell was that woman singing about? Damn, that was annoying.. And since the technology sucked in the 80s, I'm not surprised the girl was able the beat the kid in the race when he warped.

[gordo33]

i still have a murray i just fixed it an paint it its cool i had for like 10 years works like a charm

[Kan2209]

Woooow, that pitch blew my brains out.

[texan176]

I had one that I bought from a friend for $20 which was a great deal. They were about $120 new in around 1987. Took it to school in the 4th grade and it got stolen along with about 20 other bikes from the area they designated to lock the bikes up in.

Over 20 years later I still recall the rear brake was rather fancy for a dept. store bike. It was some kind of enclosed drum brake with 2 cables for more pulling force.

[notoriousbigec]

i owned this bike too--i also killed it...cant be many of these around probably worth some bucks now and yes the rear brake was different.

[pepsiqueenofn]

Kona Stinky? why bother, Murray Street machine.

[BIKERJAKE74]

I think I sold these at Cycle Spectrum

[lukeslandspeeder]

WTF i saw this one myself. wonder i remembered it but i did. thanks!. lmao.

[RockMarine]

yup, it's definitely "murrayboobs"

[RockMarine]

I was convinced it said "Murrayboobs, you b*asterds!"

[notoriousbigec]

imagine some dude in the studio recording that one....probably did say that...ronnie james dio rules..ahaaaahahah

[macdaddynyc]

To think, I spent of my freakin money on a freeride rig loaded to the gills with long travel suspension and whatnot, when I could have gotten a Street Machine. Damn!

[bigredhammer2]

Wow! That kid got like TWO WHOLE FEET OF AIR off that ramp.

[speier]

those murrays had HUGE wheelbases

what the hell was up with that?

[BillyClubCondor]

Even as shitty as the 80s Murrays were, they are INFINITELY better than department store bikes nowadays.
