Found a nice buckle at the flea market

A 1950's clock/sailbot at a yard sale.....it lights up.

A Monoose hybrid that was in a person's yard with a free sign. Dirty as heck but cleaned up nicely, Had a giant sized seat and a spring suspension post that I replace with a more useable saddle. A most unusual shifter that controls both front and rear drs.

Found a few other things but no time to post more at the moment.

I went to "look" at this 1934 Elgin Swallow earlier this week and couldn't leave it behind. No cleaning required. I was amazed at the condition and decided to pick it up for my wife. My wife's response (dripping with sarcasm), "Great, just what I always needed."

Picked up these three from a local scrapper this week. Prewar Monark with cool Challenger badge, a Cadillac badged 40'ish dx and most of a CWC built Hawthorne All American.

Got some free stuff this week.A lady gave me an old foot locker her brother used in WW 2. My friend investigated the history and found the owner was in the CCC [Civilian Conservation Corps] during WWII .He was in the reserves and there is an interesting history of the CCC I never knew existed. Also got an old spinning wheel.Not a reproduction.It has been well used

I picked up a set of single tube tires off eBay and a few small bike items.
My wife bought me a house! I get a good sized workshop and a whole room in the house just for bikes cuz my wife is sick of them taking up the living room!!!
