I was very fortunate to be in the right place at the right time, ( it fell in my lap) and good Karma landed a Bluebird on my doorstep this week. Really, it came from an advanced "well travelled" collector we all know and love ( fixer, I compare to the "Wolf" in Pulp Fiction for his packing skills, bike scores and flips, overall coolness) who got it from an advanced collector and offered it up to me.
It's a sweetheart. It came with the repro speedo cable, bracket, and basket I just have to install. It looks easy, any tips? I just HAD to take pics after I got it assembled, couldn't wait for the speedo cable install. I am truly blessed. I may be sleeping in my travel trailer soon for lack of space and an overdrawn bank account. You only live once as you are,& who knows if you'll be re-incarnated or not, or as what?
I was in my home town early in the week to take care of some personal business & had a chance to check a couple of antique shops that are normally closed when I'm there. One of them has been keeping an eye out for old bikes for my Dad. She had a '48 Whizzer in good shape priced at $125. Since it was missing a brake handle & left pedal needs attention she threw in some vinyl for $100 total.
Unfortunately the bike is too small to ride. But she does have a line on a Stingray she's trying to get the guy to sell that's missing the front wheel & purple.
