Elvis - The King's Bicycle

[catfish]

I learned about this bike about 30 years ago from a friend of mine who got a back stage tour of Graceland. The bicycle had been hanging up in one of the out buildings for years. I had always wanted to try and get it. It seems the people the run Graceland now have finally done something with it. I don't know who "restored" it....

Before and after.

There’s a YouTube video on the restoration under Spa guy , I personally think a cleaning would have been a better choice

This is the one, I’d like to find someday.

Can you imagine laying eyes on a bike with that little guitar cutout in the back of a dusty old storage building?
You’d know, exactly what it was, the minute you spotted it. Lol!
