Finally riding a big boys bike
The 4 wheel RS/SS variety was what I had in mind, but this one was much more affordable.
Fresh off the truck.
15 minutes later, it's ready to ride.
On my bike ride yesterday I noticed a pile of old bikes behind someones garage. I stopped and inquired with the lady of the house. She gave me permission to look at what was there but would not sell anything without speaking to her husband. I approached the pile and at first was disappointed with what I was seeing. There were about a dozen bikes in the pile, a tangled mess of mostly low end Huffy, Amf, and Murray bikes from the 70's, 80's and 90's. A combination of beatup bmx and 10 speeds but through the tangle I caught a glimpse of a green luggage rack. I dug through the pile until I pulled this out of it. I expressed my desire to purchase the bike but again the lady would not budge without her husband's permission. I went back today and made a low offer, the owner countered and for ten bucks I've got a camaro. It's not too pretty, not worth much, and missing the tank but now it's mine.
The bike came off of my truck sporting a 24" wheel on the front, and a Persons saddle that will look much better on a yard ornament project. I swapped out the front wheel and replaced the Persons saddle with a good Troxel that I picked up, badda-bing badda- boom I've got another rider.
