Yes I bought mine for about $59 at Hi Gear (sort of a Western Auto car parts place)in the 60's- about 8th grade. Seemed like the deal of a lifetime even then. Around here Astra was really an uncommon brand-never saw another. I liked that part-something different'unheard of. Guess that is why I was recently curious about Gipiemme pedal quality-something different.I think the Astra did have wing nuts;I don't remember a quick release on it.

Late tonight my son flies home to visit from Colorado to visit Mark Cutrufelli in Laurel,MD
