New Mexico Brant
Riding a '38 Autocycle Deluxe
Sorry I haven't been able to post much the past week, Memory Lane and Ann Arbor were like a whirlwind! Here is the recap of events. Last Tuesday I had a few meetings in Michigan to deliver and pick up bicycles. There was a brief stop over at Jesse McCauley's house. He was a huge help in assisting on the Denver Cycle Co. tandem I purchased the day before in Ohio. We primped and preened this killer machine for submission in the Ann Arbor judged event.
My new baby in the hotel room, she's too big to share the bed...
I then arrived at Memory Lane Classics Tuesday afternoon. Usually there are a handful more vendors on this day, maybe the high winds scared them off. A nice Hiawatha Arrow barn find from Kansas or Nebraska showed up. It was a very solid project as past owners protected it with four or five coats of paint. If only these bikes could talk...this one had some event occur on the left side (not shown) as there was damage on the rear rack, it lost the extra tank panel detail, and the bars were tweaked on that side; all very fixable.
