My wife had a garage sale over the weekend and I tried my best to hide "my stuff" to avoid the hassles of low ball garage sale buyers. Inevitably several people still saw my bicycle collection and one shopper tipped me off to another estate sale with "an old bike with a motor on the front wheel" that i was assuming would turn out to be a Free Spirit with a Bike Bug from his description. Another shopper told me he had "an old Roadmaster and Western Flyer just like the ones in the corner over there".
I was pretty happy to find the Velo Solex instead of a Bike Bug and pretty disappointed with the 1998 repops, but I was able to negotiate an unopened 1997 University of Tennessee bottle of Makers Mark in with them. I'm more excited about the bourbon than those two bikes, though!

Just returned home from Brimfield. Met some interesting people and saw some interesting things but came home empty handed except for some glass pieces that were marked “free”

My friend on the other hand made out like a bandit. For some reason I’m always one step behind him when it comes to finding the most unique and cool pieces, gadgets and gizmos.

Until next time…
