I too am impatient but, I normally give Brooks time to get back from his Sunday searches before I cant wait no more.
Im sure Brooks is just happy the tread is a weekly post and updated each Sunday.
So Brooks, hope all is well with you and yours.
I did manage to pick up a few bikes that I really didnt need.
I being one that hates to part bikes but, given the incomplete ones that need parts that I presently have. You have to do some part bike purchases every now and then.
The 69 Columbia Cruiser was a cheap purchase and was missing the rear wheel, pretty fair shape overall but not worth much. I needed the tank. Probably giving the rear rack to the guy who called me to let me know it was just posted. Thanks Mike.
The same Mike ( I had met him at the Va.Beach swapmeet last week) also showed up at house this afternoon with this 55 Columbia (ser# A141388).
All OG but it too is in rough shape. I can never tell if these are 3 stars or 5 stars. It does have the truss rods and its chainguard has the felt chain oiler.
Maybe that makes it a 5 star....what do say Ken?
Anyway my wifes yellow 55 is missing the truss rods so I took it. Thanks again Mike. But call me before you buy it then show up hoping I'll pay what you paid....lol
Now the wifes and this one seem to be the same bike. Except the one I vot today is what seems or could be the Original paint colors.
Then there is this fender or hood ornament I bought this week.
Not chromed and probably a repop but, I like it
