Prewar Shelby Banana (The sub $10k Shelby Deluxe Bike)

[bikewhorder]

Watcha think of the Rex now Chris?

Wow I didn't even recognize it, amazing! Looks like it found a good home. Quite a transformation from the unloved heap that was shipped to me.

I'm more partial to the long tanks myself.

I would like to pay $1 million dollars (dr evil) if somebody has a tank for mine!!!

Ok, if you haven't already noticed, my favorite Prewar Shelby is of the banana tank variety. At least my favorite that I can actually find/afford. I can hardly stop staring at my own. But I'd also like to see the others out there.
I can't say that mine are 100% correct. But I'm trying..

So if you have a banana tank bike, let's see it!

Hopefully, when we move into another house, my collection will be easier to access...right now, it's removing handlebars and pedals to get them up pull down attic stairs.
Not worth the trouble to arrange the tightly packed aisles to pull out a bike for pics...one gets ridden for a time (and rotated) and tomorrow it's the Speedline to a birthday party ride I'm going on and my daughters is ready.

I love this place. I didn't fully realize how many crazy cool old bikes were out there until I signed up here!!
