Cruisin' on my Bluebird
Fresh purchase from a fellow on RRB. Almost untouched original. Only incorrect part is the rear wheel. Original paint matches the 1908 catalog description in every way, down to the black/ivory on the front wheel. He had the seat confirmed by some wheelmen as correct as well. It's missing stitches and stiff but it's all there. Block chain. Bar appear to match the catalog. Crescent tires are hard but supposedly held air for a short stretch of time. Tall frame 21+ inches. Missing one grip and half of a pedal. Plans are to make a rider.
If anybody has one of these grips or one of these pedals, please let me know! I have the pedal shaft so it wouldn't matter which side since I can just swap onto the shaft. Also, a further longshot, a wood hoop that can be made rideable in black with ivory skunk tail down the center.
Thoughts on using original wood wheels to ride on? The front has a wobble but it appears very solid and seamed well. I'll have to look into straightening too if anybody has advice. Memory Lane sells very nice Amish hoops so that's an option too. Thanks for looking!
