Collecting nice old all original bikes can be a chore and a challenge...but, many of us, I'm sure, need that perfect match in Brands / Models and years for our collection.
I have way too many bikes, so the better half says....lol.
So, I have decided that the need to keep her enthused with my passion ( or addiction ), I would start to collect matching sets. "Brother / Sisters" bikes that we could be excited about riding tandem on the boardwalk here in Va. beach.
I mean, why should I get all the attention from the "finger pointer" admirers. Why not give her the feeling of being a specialized collector too.
The challenge to find the exact year, exact brand / model, or even down to the matching accessories, is a lot harder than I expected. but, it is rewarding to find a match. And my quest to find a match to the specific gender bike is exciting. She too, seems to appreciate my new calling....I think
Here are two matching sets I have managed to find to date.
1st....a matching set of 1965 Murray Astroflites
2nd...a matching set of 1948 Columbia 5 Star Superbs....still working on the matching men's headlight....look at that enthusiasum
