Finally! Found some nice US Special Racer tires (that still have the little nubs on them) and got them on the Tribune. I like it better with tires.

locomotion....No. I don't ride this one. It's just too original and I don't want to put my big old body on that saddle or my weight on those lovely wood wheels. I am quite happy to have it hanging right here by my desk. (I do take it out to a show now and then.)

Ron - I found some other saved photos in my archives from the original eBay ad in 2011.

Also .. I think I'm going to sell my Tribune #450 .. ( the 450 is the "Factory Racer" and the rarest! )

The nickel frame would be the ultima finish.
I wonder what it would cost to have a bike frame nickel plated ?
Information would be appreciated. Thanks.
