The Look step-ins may help you date this creature.
The hybrid Alan could be the first carbon hybrids ever produce in any quantity.

I sold two of those to a cocaine dealer kinda guy! he paid fricken cash. I locked myself in the john counting out $9,800 in $20's as soon as the count was square I ran across the street to the bank. The shop that i grew up in was Seal Beach Cycle shop. I left there in '88 I'm heading out to meet the guys today for tacos and beer
