Post them three times. Post them four times. Who would complain? This is the stuff dreams are made of. What a beautiful thing.

Can you share anything about its history?

I couldn't have found a better caretaker for that bike!
Amazing detail job!
WOW
Bike originally came from Northern Washington and was a 'keeper' for me until
I got the call for a search that had thus far, turned up nothing for a NICE original B6.
Can't keep em' all ...sad sorta to see it go, but happy it's in very good hands and local!

NICE BIKE...PLEASE TAKE THOSE TWO ADDED ON DECALS OFF...DOWNTUBE AND CHAINGUARD...DID BICYCLE BOBBY DO THAT????

Gorgeous bike! A question though were the brakes added to this bike later? The reason I ask is I thought those clevis' were post war only? @Autocycleplane @bobcycles @kenny_hungus

Duh I just realized this IS a post war bike. Ok I’m officially getting old! V/r Shawn
