Wow, what a find..! It really was an entirely different time... just look at that ornate striping... pride in worksmanship right there. :wink: "They just don't make 'em like they used to."

How does one come upon a bike like this?

 

[ohdeebee]

To use an old cliche, I know a guy! Really though, I've been searching for a while and a buddy of mine who I had bought the '62 straightbar Typhoon from had just picked this bike up. He didn't want it, I did, and now it's mine!

WOW , sweet head badge on that , ( back in the day when they weren,t too cheap to put a real badge on )
THATS AWSOME .

Wow sweet it is. How far are you going to go with this one? Clean it up hang it on the wall and watch it appreciate in falue.

I am going all the way with this one! This bike will be fully restored. I'm getting period correct clothing made and then this bike will be ridden.

Haha, that's the way to do it..! I wanted to do the same thing with my 1890's fixie but I don't know if people would appreciate it or think I was some kind of wierdo.

Sweet! Keep us posted

 

[sensor]

great score :mrgreen:
one thing to be aware of though is those chains are a lot harder to find and a whole lot more $ than a skip!

 

[deorman]

The chain that's there is probably salvageable enough for occasional parade rides. :|

 

[ohdeebee]

That chain looks a lot worse than it is. It still moves so it's not seized up. Once its off I'll soak it and hopefully it comes back to life. I know, its upside down.
