MY WALLET'S GONE! MY WALLET'S GONE!
Breaking down and clearing some old boxes today, have to be on the lookout for little goodies hiding inside them. Very cool card @Major Taylor Archive looks like this was from back in January.

Bought this a couple weeks back but I was finally able to pick it up over the weekend. Looks to be a 1917 Davis built Tiger sold through Sears. GoldenIndian was kind enough to send me the ad he found for it online.

A pretty good week for treats. I have a few bicycle nuts/pals in town and we talk off and on, meet up now and then, and enjoy buying and selling on occasion, BS'ing and it's great. I bought a really Nice '72 CCM Mustang ( all restored with OG parts/attached/been posted before) off Doug in the Fall and he has an amazing collection of original CCM and Raleigh muscle bikes and a full set ( and spare frames/some parts) of the 70's Swing Bikes.
I had been thinking about them ( Swing bikes made 76/77 ironically when I bought my 1st motorcycle at age 20) a bit this Winter, watched a few video's on Google ( Donnie/Jimmy Osmand) and another pal I bumped into suggested he might part with one. Well we talked and made it happen.
I had also been bugging him to sell me the NOS Troxel "Sock it to Me Baby" Moon sissy bar with OG packaging. That deal went down too. The bike was acquired locally in the basement of an old bicycle shop ( Doug bought 2/all the seller had) that the shop owner bought off the rack at Kmart back in the early 80's and stashed.
Well they ( I picked the blue one, there was a yellow and a green) are not quite NOS, but close with some scratches ( they were ridden a bit) and some minor rust blisters on the rear fender, but pretty dang nice, currently detailing, were untouched on these pics/no clean up at all. I was picking tiny stones out of the Cheater Slick today with a small standard screwdriver.
It would be funny to get Jimmy Osmands 45 record "Swing bike" and spin that tune. Google "Swing Bike" if you want.

The Deer and the antelope are playing and eat'in on the front lawn. Show and Tell. We have some green space close by and they are regulars. Too regular, they eat the flowers and ornamental greenery in the non snow months and are a nuisance on the road, yet majestic and beautiful. I'm obviously not a hunter and we are in city limits.
Then the toys. I bought a nice ATC Japan Toyopet Crown tin car ambulance off a seller in Portugal ( Tin Alley Toys) I've had great dealings with and bought a #7, 8 1/2" Friction Marusan Japan racer out of California. The rest of the cars are for backdrop. Another red '56 Convertible ( close to mint) arrived this week to compliment the one I replaced all the chrome trim on.

I wasn't sure I'd bring anything home from the motorcycle swap meet at the Admiral Twin Drive-In earlier this morning, but boy did today turn out better than expected! I ran into this younger guy I've traded stuff with in the past, and as we got talking about bicycles and stuff we needed to get rid of, I showed him this '60s Columbia bike I had planned to take to the upcoming Haysville, KS swap meet. He liked it so much, he offered to trade me nearly all the stuff he brought to the swap meet in exchange for it and another banana seat I had. The trade wound up being more balanced than that, thankfully, but in the end, we both got rid of some stuff we didn't want or need in exchange for some stuff we did, and we both had fun in the process!
He got "Goldie," which he had mocked up his way by the time I got home, a 24" Monark step-thru frame to go with his 24" boy's Monark he built, some fenders, and a few other parts he needed for his bikes.
And I got 2 complete bikes, one frame, some handlebars, tires, fenders, and racks. I'm especially excited about the Buzz Bike and Coast to Coast Venus muscle bikes I got!
Overall, today was a good day. I got to do some trading with a friend, and we both got some good stuff out of it!
