I picked up a '55 Spitfire Klunker, a set of truss rods & tubular 26" fork ... along with a new deck for the pad...

The previous owner installed a bottle cage on the frame, only bummer, but not that big-a-deal for me as this was cheap & will be a rider..,

Happy Sunday Yall!

I've been working on this Howard Van Doren all aluminum child's bicycle since picking it up a the spring Memory lane swap, thanks Mark and Shawn. Still a bit of polishing to do but it's back together. If anyone can find info on this bike I would love to see it please. I purchased Van Doren's book of industrial design published in 1940. In some of his designs he incorporates the basic shape of this frame its called a basic airfoil shape w/ many variations, could be long and thin or blunt and ovoid, it's discussed in the streamlining chapter. He mentions tots toys a few times in the book, Van Doren and his partner John Rideabout were responsible for the skippy tricycle, scooter and the snow plane sled but no mention of the aluminum bicycle.

I bought these two while deployed but picked them up yesterday at the Commerce Swap meet. '35 Elgin Blackhawk that I used as my swap meet cruiser yesterday. Ray @stoney originally put this bike together and even sent me some tank decals last week so I can finish the resto on it. A huge thanks to Dave @Classic Cool Rides for storing and then delivering this to me yesterday.

This '37 Mercury Monopod came through @badbob who delivered it to Charlotte to Don @DonChristie for me who gave it a light cleaning and a service. Thanks for the delivery Don!

I picked up a few things in the last couple weeks. Thanks to @Hoagie57 I got this incredible Sliver glow Stingray seat and a couple killer NOS rear tires for my Stingray's. I also picked up a blue seat for my '69 Stingray ( not as nice as hoagie's) and some real nice reflectors.

B-6 Tank Horn.. doesn't work but looks like it will.
