Cruisin' on my Bluebird
Just a few parts from the Old Bikes Club Summer Swap last week.
We all have bucket list bikes we one day wish to have in our collection. I would love to have a penny farthing, as many Cabers would, and was astonished when I checked Craigslist which I seldom do these days. Was looking in Western Slope(Colorado) Bikes For Sale section, By Owner. Penny farthing listed for $200. Had to have it! Texted the guy, long story short, he agreed to deliver for full asking price since he was going this way soon anyway. No brainer, let's do this! Here it is as delivered.
While not exactly what I hoped to find when getting a penny farthing this is a start I suppose.The previous owner picked it up in Ft. Collins about 15 years ago & mounted the Buco Twinmaster hard bags. I plan to take it to the next level & have some fun with it!!
