From what I was told, this 41 Shelby Cadillac hung on a wall in a bike shop it's whole life. The frame, fenders, rims, and chainguard are OG.

I don't know why not Typhoons - but these are the original tires according to the Sloans. The bike lived in an attic for most of its life and they are absolutely never ridden on. The flashing I the tread center is still all there and VERY pliable.

I remember that whole story and all the doubters on the old Pac Schwinn forums.I was only an hour away,but just couldn't swing the price at the time.it went to a perfect home,which is the most important thing,where it'll be preserved.
 
My oldest and most original complete bike is my Iver Johnson.

For this photo, I have replaced the tires & wheels, but I still have the originals.
The fenders and parking stand are carefully being preserved at this time and
will be re-installed when done.

Interesting is that "Iver Johnson" is stamped on all the components on this bike.

I love the pedals with the "Torrington" label boldly stamped on each pedal block.

The ride is fantastic!
