Cruisin' on my Bluebird
So presently I am working on a project in Atlanta.
Yesterday I was out driving around, saw an antique store in Marietta, just North West of Atlanta.
As I walked in the door, they had this bike off to the side, front tire off the rim, price tag, for to much money, and on the tag it said a late 50's Chicago built bike. I knew by the dropouts it was a pre war.
The five digit serial number was a give away also. Anyway, it is a good survivor and a keeper.
I got it back to my hotel, put a new tube in the front tire and it rides rather well, although it needs a compete tear down and the bearing worked on, maybe some grease, stuff like that.
Someone tried to repaint it years ago, so the original paint is history and it will need to be redone. I also took off the basket, not my style.
