So, let's see what relics you have found from this past week.
Whether it be bike related or not.

Picked up a few injured projects for my grandson.

I bought back all but 2 of the bikes I recently sold - and made money on them in doing so! I’m keeping them all this time!
Also bought 5 other bikes that are being shipped.
I’m back and better than ever

Lol. That was fast!

The vintage truck I was buying the deal fell through. So I’m back to sticking to Bikes. Got them back for less than I sold them for. Less than I originally bought them for!

Started a new job about a month ago, and had to give up my vacation time for my normal Memory Lane/ Ann Arbor Swap routine, but managed to get there for 4 hours Thursday through Saturday, and make the trip to Ann Arbor. Sold a few and picked up a 54 Jaguar, a 74 Stingray project and a 79 Stingray II. Plus some cool parts and a like new Craftsman bench vise. Ann Arbor I picked up some more Stingray goodies and a 56 green Phantom. Feels good to pick up a few more to work on! Joe

Another great week for me. Score a couple of signs I've been after for a couple of years. Fully functional original Schwinn spinner and an Iver Johnson flange sign. Also, a beautiful straight set of prewar T8s for my five bar. Thanks @ohdeebee for the heads up on the pedals!

I've never posted anything here but now I guess I have reason to . Scored these yesterday. Many thanks to Chris (Robertriley) and Scott (ivrjhnsn) for providing ime with nfo on these two beauties. The CABE community is awesome.

1. 1900 Iver Johnson with one-year-only-badge. I first saw this bike about two years ago in a shop I had just started working at in Waltham,MA. The owner found it in their barn in Weston,MA and was interested in selling it. I contacted her but never heard back. I walked past that bike for the 8mos. that I worked there. I got a new job last Sept. and forgot all about it. I got an email from the owner last Thursday asking if I was still interested. Aaaaaaaaa YEAH ! Super nice lady was happy to see it go to someone who would appreciate it.

2. 1935/36 Elgin. My neighbor is an antiques dealer and was doing a clean out for the family of a 90yr old gentleman in W.Roxbury,MA(just outside Boston). This guys house is crammed to the gills with cool stuff. Old fishing gear, a 1950s Johnson outboard motor, Coleman camping gear, an insanely nice wooden canoe and a 1956 Chevy 2 door Sedan (two-tone green) in very nice original condition(10k if you're interested ). This was hanging above it in the back of the garage since who knows when. Tires were replaced at some point (probably in the 60s). She called me (bless her heart) and I took it home.

I need another crusty piece of chit like I need a hole in the head. So yesterday, at T-town I ran into an esteemed Caber, raconteur, & Dale Carnegie of vintage bikes. I told him no way am I having anything to do with this rusting pile of crapola. He then reaches into my box of parts that I really want to get rid of, takes out a Colson chainring w/ cranks, puts it on the frame & announces , a perfect patina match. Need I say more? Also picked up a pair of metal clads & a basket that I did need.
