Looking forward to READING this front page story!
Now a little history to the bike I pick it up in a place just outside of our nation's capital in a place called the nation. Rural community where multiple generations have lived farming.
One farm I was picking had three generations of bikes there. I went here several times picked some very cool stuff I always went back and went for this bike was told everytime not that one.
Out of the blue one day I get a message asking me if I wanted that bike... Of course I said yes. It was the owner of the propertys son. He told me how that was his father's bike he bought it used in 56 for 3 bucks to deliver papers as a young boy and on that route he met his mom. They met on that very bike.It was parked in that spot in the 70s and no one had ever moved it. Till I pulled it out. Really Paperboy is a love story.

I always love a true barn find with the dust intact! And the back story will sell a few subscriptions to your thread, for sure.
