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

Found this 1960s, gumball machine prize, monster head. Not gonna say this one is impossible to find, but it's pretty dang hard. I've even seen original card displays with the whole set attached, but this bad boy is always missing. Anyway, this is a bit of inspiration for my next build, and fits over a Schrader valve

My Burley Creek purchase. Colson snaptank for my next project. I'll try and find the serial number under a couple coats of paint. I think I'm gonna try and relic it back to a faded yellow with cream contrasting pins and tank stripes. After a complete servicing to find all the rattles. Thanks to @1817cent for bringing it to me. Also thanks to everyone that put this swap together. Cabe on.........

I found this in the woods yesterday, an Aluminum chain ring on what’s left of an old Monark frame. I didn’t know that Sears sold monark bicycles.

What a score! I searched near and far for a 666 plate. Finally found this government plate (hilarious) with 666 HXN (hexin').

It looks like a Maori tattoo head.

Same guy had that and a jacked up Robin on eBay for at least three years. The bike may have won a class award at AA but pretty sure it didn’t win CBOY. Looks like you’re cornering the market on these! Be cool to see a group shot of all your Alexander stuff.

I’ve fat fingered a reply or quote here sorry
