Constance's Bike

[Slight_Rust_is_Accepted]

Had every intention of parting this bike out until I found the name under the tank, "Constance McAllister 1955 Russell, KY." When I found that it became more then just some girl's bike it became hers. If anyone knows her, if she's still around that is; I wouldn't mind seeing this bike returned to her, if not, I'll take good care of it but I'll always call it Constance's Bike.

Nice gesture. One can imagine she was very proud, and rightly so, of her bike.

Thanks for preserving this old gal, Constance would have wanted it this way.

Like the two owners of this bike before me, I left the name on the down tube of this old Elgin. Tons of history here and wouldn't have it any other way!

I got back in touch with the guy I got the bike from and he put me in contact with the person he got the bike from. They informed me that the bike was their mother's, she's gone now, they appreciated the gesture but didn't want the bike back. I will sell the bike, but morally I can't part it out.

I would try to get a photo of her to add to the provenance of the bike and maybe keep someone in the future from parting it out........would be dynamite if you could get one of her with the bike.
