Show your Bob U. Bike!

[Schwinn Sales West]

Stunning bikes! My congratulations to both Bob U. and the guys that appreciate and that have stepped up to collect his artwork.

Last week we kicked around the topic of what is a Museum Quality bike. The bikes in this thread are all museum quality, not overdone, or dripping with layers of excess paint and triple chrome. They are original, and all tastefully done.

I'm growing to like the "reverse done" factory colors more and more.

Better yet let's add the price paid/cost for each resto. Would help put these "works of art" in perspective.

At some point the restoration price is just another factor. It's like a good wine, if you have to ask, it's likely not your wine. Don't get me wrong, I'm not there yet. But you have to appreciate the guys that are, and also appreciate a good wine with a great bike.

We missed seeing you at ML & Monroe this year Bob. What were you up to that you had to miss it ?

Gorgeous bike! But I believe Dave Stromberger knocked that one out?

No sir, Dave used the "Pie Crust" sprocket set up on his 5 bar, along with some other minor differences.

Maybe I miss posted. My 5 bar was restored using original parts and some Bob U parts, not originally restored by him.

Probably some bikes Bob WISHES he would have done!

And a few he’s glad he didn’t.

I wouldn’t worry about it still looks great. Here’s one I restored and I’m not a restoration guy just some one with a passion like you.
