Took a ride yesterday to grab this. I traditionally don’t mess with postwar bikes, but this ladies’ Monark-built Firestone Cruiser was too pimped out to pass up. Literally loaded with bells and whistles. Nice JC Higgins speedo. The DuPage-Pilot Compass is cool. Popped in some batteries and the Signal Grips function perfectly. I honestly can’t stop playing with them.

My father passed down to me his 1982 Bridgestone Kabuki 12 Speed Super Sport. Its been sitting unused for over 20 years in his shed and later in his guestroom. Just needs a little cleaning and lubing. The warranty, I believe is well expired.

Here's a shot of my pop. 88 years old . Still gets around well. He can still split wood using a sledge and splitting wedge, , as well as use a chainsaw. We cut ,split and stacked a bout 1/2 cord of wood that day while I was down visiting..

Some of you folks may have seen this killer ca. 95'/6' March-Davis light roadster "The March" that @kos22us found a few months back, I just had to see it back on wood wheels and natty rubber tires.
So! I replaced the Columbia stamped leaf spring saddle which is also killer with a period original Hunt. Replaced the quilled bars / stem with a non-quilled setup of Kelly bars that looked the part and had been waiting for the perfect fitting bike. Found a set of wheels that looked the part and matched patina variation overall, added the set of Kokomo "New Oxford" tires and figured while I was going at it full on I would add a set of NOS "The Flexible" toe clips and fork coaster pegs.
Why not right?

I was able to get back one of the Hoefler trick bikes, it will be on display at at local transportation museum.

I also worked out a trade for this American National mid 20’s pedal car, thank you Buck.

Bought and donated this 20-23 foot Christmas tree for the town of Dahlonega, Ga. 7th year my partner and I sponsored the tree.

My TOC bike rack has made it to the garage, I have to rearrange some bike but love the way it’s turned out.
