I will be picking up this 1956 Duracraft 16 1/2 ft. 78" Beam runabout project from the upper peninsula of Michigan in a couple weeks.. its rated for up to 90hp... all lights and hardware are included with it .. that's a shadow running along the port side gunwale not a crease...

It was a good bicycle week here, an Excelsior (badged Triumph) Cycle Co, Michigan City, Indiana popped up on Ebay as BIN during the witching hours. Luckily my late night bathroom ritual and a post by @tomsjack allowed me to make this quick purchase. The Triumph arrived on Friday; I changed out the bars & grips, stem, and saddle; the grips arrived yesterday from Dave @old hotrod. I love the beaded metal rims, they have that early motorcycle aesthetic.
A big thanks to @Freqman1 and @ranman for the chrome shop recommendation in Independence, MO; man these people have great prices and turnaround. Everything came out looking so nice! Lastly, a shipment of tires arrived from Germany for use on early clinchers, I have my fingers crossed they will work on early metal wheels, a thank you to @cyclingday for the hook-up on these.

I’ve had time to clean up this 1959 Ib Kofod-Larsen walnut sofa and re web the seat frame with Elastabelt, and it’s already sold!

I almost forgot, a pair of Miami fenders from Chris Hammond and a cool, crusty bar mounted John Alexander flashlight holder from Nate, and a Shelby stem from Mike S. for the Hiawatha Arrow Jim at TRM is restoring. Anyone know a good place to buy replacement springs?

Acquired this circa '15 roadster

extracted from sitting in a barn for the last 50+ years. Way past its best before date missing/wrong parts, but it at least has the 32H front wood wheel. Wow!.... I need another project! OK...... tear down yesterday, on its way to complete restore. Fortunately, I have the parts to make it right, except, yea, the headbadge.
