picked up a 1947 ish Schwinn B-6 with a locking springer and fore brake. put some air in the vintage tires and it rides OK but the fenders are rubbing and loose. 2 days later they still have air in them.

picked up a tank for my other B6 from a fellow Caber.

no bike stuff this week, have been really good about not buying anything actually, but this week i fell off the wagon, gonna need to turn in my token

spotted this bag on ebay and had to have it. it’s barely useable, all the linen stitching is rotten, and so is some of the leather. could be repaired, but....
i just love the design so got it as a pattern to make a few when i have time down the road.

thinking maybe swedish,
there’s ~12 yards of hand stitching on this bag and lots of material, cowhide outer, lined with pigskin and calf, with a linen insert
buckles are leather wrapped and stitched.

I picked up this piece of rusty gold a couple of weeks ago. Looking forward to tear down and lube.

I just got a flamed banana seat and black sissy bar to complete my Electra Rat Rod. I added high rise handlebars and dice valve caps!

This past week wasn't about what I bought but what I sold, my house! I've been in the same house for over 15 years. I bought it right before the housing market tanked. I noticed some crazy selling prices around here so I threw it on the market as a FSBO. There wasn't much interest for the first couple months
but then a woman from Florida gave me my full asking price in cash and wanted to move in ASAP. I was kind of in shock but I knew that this was my one chance to get out from under this place. It felt more like an evacuation than a move but I made it happen. I'm going to miss all the space and the location but it feels good to be cut free from it. I had to make some hard choices and scrapped about 2000 pounds of bike and car parts. But a lot of that was the stuff that I "collected" only because nobody would buy it.

Picked up a bunch of stuff at 2 street sales out in the country, where the houses are pretty far apart. This bottle a guy does salvage scuba diving he found it in lake Erie, The other thing I'm hoping someone can tell me what it is, we've ruled out big hash pipe, it's aluminum. I have no idea.
