Here's a picture of the Blackhawk the first time I saw it. I was at a garage sale and I saw some bike parts in the garage, so I asked the 70 yo guy if he had any old bikes or parts he wanted to sell. His eyes lit up, and he said "I got one I will sell ya for $3500!" I told him to show me the bike, and the next thing I know, I'm spending $3500 for a really cool survivor. He said he was at a parade about 5 years ago, and he saw a man riding this bike. He followed the man, and asked him where he got it. The man said it has been in his family for 75 years, and has been stored in the living room the whole time. He sold it to my seller for $3000.

I might sell it one day, but right now I can't stop staring at it!

The guy I bought it from stored it in his basement, hence the sawdust coating!

Did I mention that in the toolbox is a piece of paper, prolly 2.5" x 1.5 " that describes how using a metal rod to remove the tire might break the bead on the wood rim, henceforth voiding the warranty?
