Had to settle for the Sears Screamer 2, complete with cast iron mag wheel and center stick caliper brake masquerading as a parking brake. Terrible at delivering papers. It was the Huffy 5 speed advertised in Boy's Life that I lusted over! But I just did the same for our daughter (she wanted an iPad for Christmas, got a HP laptop instead [wife and I thought that would be more practical for going away to college]!). http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1609169924.jpg |

My first bike was pretty standard for 1961. Kind of like what Beaver Cleaver would ride.

I know, click bait web links are all about bombarding you with advertising, but they should try to at least put accurate data in their quiz questions. This is just one example of some of the wild factoids on one site.

Mag wheel is made of magnesium a lightweight strong metal similar to aluminum. I guess you could call it a Mag Style wheel made of cast iron.

We all called hot rod wheels "mag wheels" back in the 60's and 70's even though they weren't made of magnesium anymore. Sort of like we call a carbonated soft drink a "coke" or a cotton swab a "Q tip".
