Hello,
New guy here....and new guy to bikes!
My name is Jess and I am in Albuquerque, NM
The last bike I owned was in 1979. I just recently got into bikes out of necessity.
I work in the film biz and I am currently working on a new TV series at the Albuquerque Studio's.....Usually my department gets a golf cart to get around in.....budget is tight....so no cart!
I got an idea to get me a bike and solve this issue! I went to a local bike shop and found a vintage Royce Union in decent shape and had them refurbish it!
I have no idea what year it is?
A few weeks ago.....one of the guys I work with tells me he has 2 old bikes in storage.....I look at them and take em off his hands cheap. I figure the wife and I can have bikes for home enjoyment.
The first one is for my wife. It is a 1939 Goodyear Wings Reliance. It just needs a chain and new tires and tubes.
The second one (Mine!) is a 1951 Montgomery Wards Hawthorne. I have wheels, chain and chain guard coming soon
I am finding this to be a new addiction......my other addiction is vintage VW's!
