Sunday's Show and Tell ... 8/28/22

[Nashman]

Thanks to some righteous Cabers I now have a sweet Krate lot. The quality and originality of these bikes is breathtaking. The '68 Apple from sunny California, the other 3 eatables from New York.

I reluctantly sold my only Krate to date ( 40 years of collecting) a few years back/2019 after only owning 2 years ( a gorgeous ALL original '69 Lemon Peeler) to a new local collector and was kinda jonesing for a replacement.

Well when it rains it pours. Ironically the 3 disc Krates I just bought ( Pea, Lemon, Orange) from New York were also from the same home of the '69 Lemon Peeler back in 2017. ( posted on Cabe, sold from Ray to Mark) The '69 came from Ray ( NY), sold to Mark( SC) who sold to me ( Wpg. Canada), who I sold to Dave ( Wpg. Canada).

When I showed the '69 Lemon Peeler pics ( one I bought from Mark, sold to Dave) to Ray this month, he says "that looks like my old bike"! Yup, right down to the SN# ( see pics/these are of the '69). I'll post the 4 bike line up with Lemon Peeler last to avoid confusion? Ha! I'm not sure who the old bald guy playing "pocket pool" is in the picture with the Apple

, but by the looks of him, he won't be hard to catch if he runs or rides!!

Not much this week, just a cool horn for the motorbike… thanks @Goatroper

Couple “D” batteries and it works great!! Soooo loud!

Spent quite a bit of time this week on this ongoing Silver King project for which a sexy bezel is en route for (thanks to @mr.cycleplane )
I also took a gamble on a ladies Shelby lot with a lot of extras, excited to try and reassemble this bicycle and see what's leftover, never seen a shelby with a dash board but it could look cool?

Have a bike and a project coming from a Virginia auction. I guess I now need to find a paint guy to redo that tank so it matches the rest of the parts better.

This down on its luck ladies Columbia Superb got pulled out of a barn locally recently and found its way to me. Looks like a '41 or early '42 model with a G serial and H overcode. Love the paint scheme and the little V's on the fenders. The guy who found it swapped some clean up work for it, and as it turns out a bit of a hoarder of old goods as well. I traded him an acoustic guitar which I had pulled out of a post yard sale free pile for it. Do you think I paid too much?

And on other topics a tremendous shout out to @THEGOLDENGREEK for his stupendous August finds!! You my friend have scored a rare hat trick with your Phantom, Auto Cycle, Four Gill, and Shelby finds just this month, which by the way still has a few more days for you to see what else you can cram in!!

Lov'in on that lemon-drop Klein. The high center of gravity on mine makes it hard on the trails but a fabulous townie bike (actually my favorite). Maybe why these show up looking so minty. They tend to be the under-looked steal of the vintage mtb category; they just need to be repurposed. Looks like you had a great week!

I took a collection of 142 pieces of "Nudie" glasses on trade for a couple of bikes. Pretty interesting how the risqué stuff from a previous generation is probably PG13 rated by today's standards, but I still probably shouldn't show the back sides of them here!

A few goodies.

Picked up my own MTB a couple weeks ago. I'm servicing a non-servicable type 1 headshock now
