On Training Wheels
Hi, new here.
My 75 year old neighbor, who was a racer back in his youth, gave me this bike. He bought it in Bloomington, IN back in the late 60s (in this exact condition, and with the handlebars upside down!) and hasn't touched it since.
Seems like it's a cool old track bike. I'm a mountain biker and occasional road rider with a bunch of modern bikes in my garage but I've never worked with vintage. What do I have on my hands here?
I've found a shop in town that specializes in vintage rebuilds (and has been around for 6 decades) but I found this site and thought I'd check in here.
Thanks,
Brett
