HARPO
Cruisin' on my Bluebird
Not really looking to buy any more bikes right now, and then I spot these two.
Well, the bikes were being sold separately, but I asked about purchasing both to try and get a better deal...which I did. And I couldn't believe the condition when I went to see them. A normal person would leave them as is. But...you all know I need to go the extra mile. I haven't touched these bikes, as I only picked them up early last evening.
Owner was a bike guy who passed away a couple of years ago of Covid, and his brother (a bike guy, but Road bikes) was selling them. They were taken care of, but he had gotten them from a garage sale years prior.
Hubs are dated 5 68 and 10 68, so only months apart from each other. Love the gold striping still on them. Men's rear fender has a wham-o on it, but that appears to really be it. I can't wait to get a nice gloss out of the black paint!
Enjoy the barrage of photos as usual!
