Welcome! My first build was in Sandusky, back in the late 60's! I just wanted to ride and threw a bunch of junk parts together.

Here's a page on the Silver Jet from oldroads.com:

What part of Ohio? There's a big bicycle swap meet in Grand Rapids Ohio Friday the 27th and Saturday the 28th, and then an even BIGGER one in AnnArbor MI on Sunday the 29th. The Grand Rapids one is at Memory Lane Classics. They have tons of classic bike parts themselves, in addition to the vendors that will set up in the parking lot.

I am going next weekend hopefully Friday! I am not sure about the Michigan one have you been to that one? What part of Ohio u from?

Originally Toledo, now Marysville/Columbus. Never been to the Ann Arbor one, they just told me about it at MLC. I'd like to make it to the swap, but I have a lot going on this week so I might miss out.
