Sunday's Show and Tell ...8/8/21

-
6 years in the making… got a message from a buddy that it was time to let this beaut go on Thursday, Saturday morning started the road trip to Smokey Colorado (Colorado Springs) over 800 miles and 11 hours drive time! The story is my buddies wife’s dad got it when he was 12 years old in 1937… it has sat in their families 200 year old house’s cellar until 6 years ago when the niece bought the house and started clearing out what he referred to as the “hoard”! This gem went with them from Maine to Georgia to Colorado and now resides in New Mexico!!!
Ta boot… he even had the rack and hexagonal handlebars!!!

I picked up a FANTASTIC original prewar Troxel seat top cheap off ebay! A big box of mostly later 1800s bottles for $1 each!
A 52 Columbia from a junker guy cheap!
AND my personal favorite! Another former Zorlac pro skater signed my reissue double cut deck! only a few more to go to have them all! (The photo is from him right after he signed it 😎)
Oh yeah..and comics..I sold a LARGE chunk of my $$$ books (I still have..? 3000+ books? 🙄 🤣) but now I have the cash to buy grail bikes!😜

The last thing I need is more STUFF but for some reason really cool stuff seems to be thrown in my path for little to no expense. (other than having too much stuff... 🙄 ) For example, a customer gave me 4 Sansui SP-2000 speakers from the late 70's as well as 2 Akai reel to reel decks. All appear to be in dirty but good condition.

Then on my way home from running an errand I see out of the corner of my eye an old bike in a yard sale in the parking lot of the flea market across the street from where I work. I loop back around, not really wanting to go anywhere near where I work on my day off, and find a nice 24" JC Higgins at a price I couldn't resist.🤓

I got my motorbike tank. After I get the new battery tray in the mail I can take it out to Dave for paint. I can't wait! I also got the Silver Ray light from Kim.
Thank you very much Kim. Barry

All that's left are the fenders. I think I should be getting them pretty soon. They're already the original black and cream color, so all that'll need painted is the tank and rack.
