HARPO
Cruisin' on my Bluebird
If you don't believe in Karma, maybe you should. I do after this!
I gave the blue Peugeot UO8 I bought the other day to one of my father's neighbors who was looking for a tall bike for his son this morning. He wanted to pay me for it...I told him no, you've been a good neighbor to my father. Besides, I only paid $35 for that bike. I knew it was going to a good home and was glad to do it.
So, after raking leaves and doing the lawn, I went inside and took a shower before having lunch. I then figured I'd check out Facebook Marketplace fore anything "Newly Listed" and the PX-10 pops up, less than an hour old. Turns out it's the same guy I bought the Schwinn from a couple of weeks ago! He told me he'd already had people interested in it, but said if I wanted it, he'd rather have me get it. I told him put SOLD on it, which he did, and an hour later it was in my driveway.
All the parts are there (minus the chain, handlebar tape and cables), and of course will need tires and an overhaul. But ,this will be a nice project to work on. Brooks Professional saddle is in nice condition, and I know sells for around $150 in this condition. So, considering I paid $150 FOR EVERYTHING you see, I got a smokin' deal. There's even the Mafac tool kit he threw in. KARMA!!!!!!
Enjoy the barrage of photos...
