Finally riding a big boys bike
I found this 55/56 Schwinn Tiger three speed (I have to check the serial number, but hub says 55). I bought it from the original owner. He sold greeting cards to earn the money to pay for it himself. He repainted it a number of years later because the red paint had faded so much. He still had the original seat and head badge. Also has a 67/68 license plate. A jeweled rim shiner was on the front rim. And he also had this schwinn approved tire gauge, which all was included. I'm planning on keeping this one in my family too, like he did for so many years. Feels good to be the second owner of a bicycle this old.

41 Autocycle
Found this all Original Paint '41 Cobalt Autocycle buried in the dusty attic of an old quonset hut in far northern Idaho. I determined not to leave that suffocating 100 degree quonset hut with out that bike ! ! It had exerciser pedals and some other choice enhancements ! Finally pried it out of the dude's boney fingers, strapped that beauty on the rental van and drove her home . . . 19 hours . . through the Nasty Southern Oregon/ Northern California fires and too much fast food :-/
. . . through Crater lake . . .
. . pit stop . .
. . . In the hotel room with my Honey . . . Never Take Your Eye Off The Bike ! ! !
. . and finally home in San Geronimo, all cleaned up ! !
I think she's my favorite bike.
Thanks to Mark Mann for talking me through it !
Lookin for an original brake cable and lever, and an AN4 key . .
Thanks,
Pete

Few cool bikes
I found a cool black Corvette that needs a little cleaning and the seller threw this crusty Spitfire that belonged to his father into the mix. Also found this black American that has been hanging in the sellers garage "forever". Its a real gem two speed kickback. It sounded strange, but he said he bought it from a Schwinn dealer that was in Peoria who ran his shop out of his home because he was in a wheelchair.
