Sunday's Show and Tell ... 3/26/23

[jd56]

Daggum we on the East Coast love Springtime and I'm sure everyone else does too.
Pollen not so much. But, flowers and spawning season is here.

Let's see what relics you've found from the past week.
Whether it be bike related or not.
Please include pictures as we do love pictures!

It was another Rocket-tastic week!! I added this infamous Alexander Rocket bike! It’s the one that was on Facebook for 4-5 years before heading to Michigan. Well it’s still in Michigan! This is out 5th rocket bike!
Oddly enough this week my dad dug out his old Classic bicycle and Whizzer newsletters for me and THIS rocket was on the cover of this 1994 as a winner at Ann Arbor Michigan show! How wild!
I decided I don’t want fenders, chain guard etc. I like rockets pretty basic so here’s pictures of what it used to look like and what it looks like now.
The seller gave me this old rocket toy to. I’ll display it by my rocket bikes!

I also bought rocket badge magnets from rusty72 shown below.
And another Alexander flashlight holder
(not shown)
I get the most enjoyment from the Alexander / Rocket collecting. After all , fun is what this hobby is all about!

I found this ND bell at a "yard sale" down the street. It looked like a tornado hit this place, stuff everywhere & in no particular order. Signs for a yard sale, but nobody was there! I left some $$ in an envelope for what my wife bought (box of ephermera) & the bell.

Also purchased this 1 owner '71from a nice young man on OfferUp. It was his Dad's bike since new...

Midget bars? Has the S2 rear & S7 front, but a 20 x 1.75 tire on the rear & a 20 x 1-3/4 on the front.



Happy Sunday Yall!

Nothing exotic or brag-worthy. I got this girls bike for 20 bucks at a swap meet. I needed a pair of wheels for a Hiawatha project I’m putting together and this thing will offer up several good parts for other projects too.

My Tornado comment was meant with no insensitivity to the victims of the Tornado in MS & the South.
My heart goes out to those communities devastated by this natural disaster.
Apologies if anyone is offended...
