Small glass house in your remarkably solid knowledge foundation that I have always found helpful especially in appreciating the nuances in my own extensive collection of Monarks and Silver Kings, but "dissertation" please.

Imagine this: you're six years old and your dad brings home a fully restored Bluebird. And now imagine he brings home the sweatiest rideable rust-bucket Bluebird with lots of history, original parts, and "patina" you've ever seen. What say you, collectors of kid's rideable toys? ( Or imagine a...

Thanks to the wholly under-appreciated (over the years) zeal and rigor of Leon's research and the expanse of his collection, I discovered him (his work that is) 30 years ago when I started to collect and restore Monarks and Silver Kings when he was the man. He is yet, obviously, still the man...

does the process leave a roller mark on the underside?

At last!

Glad to see no one is willing to reveal anything personal about themselves in the answers they give!! Parenthetically, 500k Thai Baht.

That last says it all, doesn't it? Make Ann Arbor Great Again!

Well, the thing about that whats-it sure made the whole thing-ama-bob almost half-way copacetic. All that is clear from this smartass's POV.

As a 77.75 year old who still counts the number of his bikes on his 25.75 knuckled hands, I think I can still remember my 2nd grade math teacher of fractions and decimals saying in clearly a canuck French accent that 1.75" = 1 3/4". On the other hands figuring modulo SCHWINN is another...
