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.:dizzy: 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.:dizzy: 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.:pThe 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!!:p:p:p

That is a great start and an affordable price for a fun looking bike. I would have bought it too.
 
I finally got to pick my childhood bicycle shop.There wasnt a ton of good stuff,but it was a good time!The shop had been open since 1949.It had been cleaned out a few times(The NOS ACS Z-rim and Vision skateboard wheel were found under the bulkhead most likely dropped on its way to the dumpster! o_O)There were some newer good odds and ends.I dug under the shelves,there was stuff including a really old rabbits foot..sans the fur..:screamcat:
The NOS Sturmey Archer 3 speed hub was in the dust under the stairs.A Cannondale "Frame kit" NOS 16" Schwinn BMX pit bike tires,a new Predator toy(ONLY old toy I found.
And today I picked up a cool 1984 Schwinn Sidewinder to ride!
