I bought mine in 2009, from a guy who wanted to restore it (he has already bought the decals) but, life threw him a curve ball (home reposession, job loss) and he seemed thrilled to get $80 for it. It was no rider, and missing some key things. The last Tiger I saw on my local Craig's list was a decent, black, 1960 single speed advertised at $300. It looked like it could be ridden, but the ad didn't say. It was gone in a week.
That surprised me.
I just finished putting NOS brake pads on the bike,they are absolutely correct,and so dried out they are absolutely worthless. They sat on the top shelf near a window in a bike shop for 50 years. I won't ride the bike with those, but they look pretty neat bolted in place. We have a little display only show in Andover, MN at the end of the month, and I want to bring it there.
