Cruisin' on my Bluebird
I found this 59 Wasp awhile ago. The bike is radiant blue and has the teardrop S rear reflector, blue vinyl seat w/chrome springs and crash rail, bow pedals and chrome cap on fork. The accent paint on the fenders is also dual pointed which flow into the pinstripes. These are features which I usually associate w/middleweights. It also has original WW typhoon tires(very well used).
Is this Wasp any more desirable than other Wasps? Been trying to figure out a value but most I've seen are beat up or didn't sell. Seems like a nice red 59 (w/single spear on fender) was parted out on here a year or two ago due to not selling whole and was only 200$ or so.
I added the Seiss lights where the basket that was on the bike left marks on the handlebars. The bike had a large front basket when found and still has a Detroit license plate behind seat. Probably used to deliver newspapers.
I've been looking but have yet to find a catalog pic or other Wasp set up this way. Most are very plain. I've seen some deluxe middleweights with painted fenders this way but no ballooners with the teardrop S reflector.
