1901 Napoleon all original FS NEW PRICE

I am selling off my collection one bike at a time and I will start with my 1901 Napoleon made by the Jenkins Cycle co. for Sears. It appears in one of their 1901 Catalogs here: http://www.etsy.com/listing/97590889/1901-napoleon-bicycle-advertisement.
It has quite a bit of touch up on the black paint, but is still very presentable and some of the pin striping can still be plainly seen. They started with a completely nickel plated frame and fork and then added paint on top of that. The seat is in good shape. The only thing I had to replace is the grips and they are the same ones that they originally came with, only these are new. The rims were so pristine that all I did was give them a light sanding and apply a coat of amber shellac. The tires are Robert Deans. This beautiful bicycle is solid and tight and rides fantastic. You would be hard pressed to find another one of these that is so well preserved and original.
I have to get $2,000 shipped (to the lower 48 states only) for her and that is a deal for this bicycle. NEW LOWER PRICE...... $1,600 shipped
PM me if interested and I will get back to you.

Thanks

Wow...... awesome! You getting out all together?

Never all together Bri. Just plan on being very busy for the next year at least with all I have to do since my Mom passed. There are always more out there, but I also need the funds for the house repairs and insurance I have to get, not to mention looking for a new house for me and all the expense that entails. So for now, the money is needed more than the bikes. Besides, it will be fun starting over again after all this is behind me.
