I hope folks are still visiting this thread occasionally. I wanted to post what I bought a few days ago and see if anyone has any insight. Like most of you, I have saved searches on ebay trying to find anything I can possibly need for my IJ. I got an email with these tools. One is a very small IJ adjustable wrench, but unlike anything I've ever seen. I got it for around $20 shipped, so I was willing to take a chance that it might be a tool that would have been included with a juvenile bike in the late 1910's, early 1920's. Anyway, here's the listing:

I am super pumped today. I have wanted a set of Fisk 20" single tube tires for my little Boy Scout Midget forever. The only set of ANY brand 20" single tube tires I ever found were the U.S. Rubber Co Giant Chain Tread ones. They are nice tires and are NOS - but since the bike was originally spec'd with Fisk tires, I really wanted to find some. But, after 4 years, the only other set of 20" single tube tires I even saw for sale were a set of Yorks on ebay. I didn't feel they were much of an improvement over the ones I had.

I have multiple saved searches on Ebay. Everyday I get multiple emails with a variety of different items I'm searching for for this bike. Though though search rarely pays off, I still check each email everyday because, well, you never know.

So yesterday I checked my search results lo and behold - what was there? I pair of 20" Fisk single tube tires. I couldn't hit Buy It Now fast enough. I was SO nervous someone else would get them before me.

Anyway, I can't wait til they get here Monday - I have MY Christmas present.

The last thing I need before putting this little fella back together is a set of 20" wheels (I do have a set, but I'm not real happy with them).

Here are some pictures of the Fisks. They aren't NOS, but that's ok. I'm not planning to restore this bike to "new condition". I just want to assemble it back together with all the old, used parts I have and preserve the history of the bike and the parts.
