Cruisin' on my Bluebird
Once again, I look at ebay for the heck of it...within 50 miles of my house. This pops up as a new listing just 25 miles from me. I saw the bike and immediately knew I wanted the Brooks saddle...tire pump...saddle bag...and head light...all for a Buy It Now price of $50! Figured I'd then sell the rest of the bike off on Craigslist. Well, turns out the bike itself is in better shape than I could have hoped for. It's beautiful! It will stay with me for a while and join the rest of the English fleet.
The attached photos are as found (final ones will come later), and once I began to use a polishing compound on it, I was amazed at how deep the black gloss was. The gold pinstriping is there, and really adds that nice touch to it. The most work I'll need to do is on the rims. he rear AW hub is dated 12 72, so right around Christmas it was made. Well, Christmas in August 2018 for me, lol!
