I won this typewriter right before the shutdown happened, so I had to wait for them to ship it. 1966 Olympia SG-3 with a harder to find 10 character per inch typeface.

my buddy from Connecticut sent me the touch typing record and the delirious dvd. Also got some Olympia typewriter ephemera, and a year book from my alma mater, (28 years before I went there!)

It was a fun week playing with bicycles; an antique dealer friend and I partnered two basement fresh bikes he scored somewhere outside of Richmond, Virginia. I also went out to a guy's house in Santa Fe and bought a tandem project for my lady and I. He loaded all the parts in the back of his truck and drove it to the curb; it felt good to do a one on one (but at a distance deal-no cash, paid with PP) It came with some sweet bits including a wheel set with a NOS ND-A, and killer Gillette Ambassador tires, another wheel set, and a true TOC tandem wheel (not shown). The tandem is an 1896 Davidson. Sweet bull dogs arrived from Myron, a great WWII topper that is going on my Huffman wartime civilian model, a couple ND tools (thanks Frank!), and a sweet saddle from Todd.

no one else is biting so I will... what's the story with the sidecar frame ??

Broke quarantine to drive four and a half hours to pick up this ratted 1952 Schwinn Typhoon. She's a bit heavy to be practical.

Does anyone know if Worksman rims would fit on her? I'd like to move away from the Schwinn skinny proprietary sizes.

One of my favorite areas. Would like to find one from '60

How do you tell how old these are?

A long term project John.

Bought a Crate & Barrel sofa with custom fabric from a customer that doesn't have a space for it at her new home. Was in a room that didn't get used so has very little use. Saved $1000 versus buying new and looks good with my Dahlquist DQ-10's.

I cant without the year. I had a couple of Detroit plates made the same way. I heard many opinions what era they were from but nobody knew for certain.
