Bit the bullet a d pulled the trigger

Always wanted this model Victor _ the price was somewhat doable (I can live without heat or lights for a while) the parts that are missing I either have or can make -their is great original paint and plating under that red barn paint so it is going to be a combination of conservation and fabrication to this 1889 hard tire timecapsul

That’s awesome!!! Man they sure wanted you to be able to HOLD ON when they designed those grips!!! Either that or they had a bunch of extra short shovel handles laying around I dig it!!! I wonder what it is like to ride.
