Nice!

It's got just the right amount of ratina to it. Unlike some of my buys, I didn't buy this one to flip. It has too much potential for fun. But if I do sell it, I will contact you first my friend.
 
It was an awesome bike day today. Drove down to JAX to meet @pvwacko (Wacko's Garage) and pick up a 65 Schwinn Cycle Truck he bought from a aluminum can man for me. We had a great time chatting bikes for an hour or so and checking out the killer scratch built bikes he has made. Check out the Cycle Truck he made from an Electra behind my Schwinn.

Then I went to the office because I remembered that my co-worker dropped off my Special Schwinn that I bought from @highwheelerboy25 . This looks even cooler in person. I can't wait to ride it tomorrow in the daylight!!

The Sears hubs have the date stamp on them, 63 on the left one, not sure of the other one. Your 2 speeds are manual, but just as good as the autos. That's a nice haul!

Yeah, it kinda reminded me of when I helped you unload your leftovers before you left JAX a couple of years ago. He was only a little farther South and East from where you where.
 
My good bike weekend continued. Picked up this Trek Lime just for the Shimano Automatic shifting wheelset and computer.

(SOLD)

I was trying to remember who picked up all my parts and frames, including a file cabinet filled with hubs and things, from down near Tampa I think. A hundred bucks loaded his truck like up the Beverly Hillbillies. Can't remember who that was though.

I'm pretty sure that was @SimpleMan . I think there was a Newsboy Special frame in that mix too. I think he got the bulk of your stash, I just came in and cleaned up the leftovers.
 
Got these cool brick red torpedo grips headed my way from the CABE

GIVEN as prize in BO15
