Lady Shelby Flyer with Great Patina

[PLERR]

It's all about the green.

My girl collects vintage green-handled kitchen utensils. Then at some point she saw a collage on Pinterest with those utensils interspersed with other vintage items of that same (or similar) shade of green, so she started collecting other neat, old, green stuff. It makes for a really neat collection. And really, I couldn't be happier she's a collector too. I never have to explain why I have so many bikes!

So now we have something that lives in both worlds: a kitchen-utensil-green ladies Shelby! I'm loving the patina - and the completeness. I'll be going over the bearings and chain, adding Coke bottle grips, and replacing the tires - that's it. Another damsel in distress saved!
