If I was your wife I would have this safety tested first . Like for brakes . Very cool bike I would love to see it done . She will love it !
Thanks Manikin. I will let my Mother in law be the test dummy. On a big hill!!!
Thanks much officialfuel and kerry10456.
Nice match for Boone!!
Thanks toolate2,,,might have to get some more burgundy paint mixed.
You and the wife would look very cool indeed!!
LOL Vontrie I bet you wouldn't do that to your Mother in law ! heck I am a Mother in law and I would take them with me if they put me on it for test ride :-)
Thanks bratjdd. No, Manikin, I love my Mother in law, but I love messing with her. One time I tried to give her away on the internet. She said that if anyone called her, she would kill me.
Nice score, looks pretty complete for an old skip-tooth bike. That springer almost looks like a Schwinn but different.
Thanks DavesCoolStuff. Yea, the old girl is all there except for the seat and light. It is really nice under that paint. The strange thing is,,I have no clue where I got this bike or what I paid. Or when I got it.
Reminds me of my mothers bike my father has in his garage hanging. Phil.
You need to post it Phil.
