Factory Lightweight with Stars
‘08 Factory Lightweight
Owner: Chuck Mader
From: Maryland, USA
Paint: Gloss Black, Nogaru Blue Panels and fork crown, Opposite Stars, Silver lettering,
Comments: I knew I wanted a Factory Lightweight but agonized over the paint. So about 6 months of pondering, Black and Blue, seeing stars just popped into my head…kinda fits my riding style (I have been a “John Doe” at Univ. MD Shock Trauma from a cycle accident)
