On Training Wheels
Hi everyone. First off, I am definitely a rookie at this stuff so I apologize in advance for asking silly questions or just plain using the wrong lingo.
I bought a bike today after spending quite a while watching the local craigslist listings. It was one of those bikes I could tell wasn't really old, but the lines, the colors, the tanklight -- it just suited me. I'm not really looking for a project or to restore this bike. I kind of like it just like it is.
I'd like to post the pictures here just to show you what I got. I do have a couple questions though as well.
1) I've found Murray catalogs that show this bike, but I can't find Gambles Hardware ads/catalogs. Anyone know where I could find one?
2) What was on the front fender? I have seen some of the Hiawatha fender ornaments but it doesn't look like that is what it was. Or was it?
