HARPO
Cruisin' on my Bluebird
Thanks to a "Heads Up" from @bikesnbuses because it was here on Long Island, I got to purchase this bike. I was leery on first seeing it, and initially said no because of the ebay photos. And at a starting price of $100 or Buy It Now at $150, I declined. I did contact the owner with a bit of info I could make out (like it was a re-paint, etc.) and he thanked me. He then told me he was going to lower the starting price to $50...but if I wanted it he'd do it as a Buy It Now at $50 for me. To tempting to pass up, I figured what the heck! So $50 plus Tax came to almost $55, and this morning I was off to pick it up.
Turns out it's in much better shape that the photos showed (opposite of what I usually run into) and I can't wait to start to clean many, many years of dust and dirt from it.
But...is this truly a Black Beauty? Didn't they all have a "B" crankset or at least a decorative one? And, does anyone have any idea as to the year on this one? I'm assuming 1930's or so, but please let me know. Enjoy the photos I took as it left my SUV.
