My first nice boys balloon tire bike, purchased in 1977.

This is a Bob Jackson frame I got about 1975. It had been in a fire. I bought new Shimano Dura Ace components painted it blue and rode it for years. It had been hanging in garages for the last 20 years until about a year ago I repainted it and tuned it up. Still rides great.

I don't have any current pictures of any of my old balloon bikes, and I just sold my oldest TOC to a fellow CABE member several weeks ago, so I've decided to show this nice Huffy Sportsman that I purchased on October 10, 1992, and still have the receipt. I am the second owner. I added the Brooks saddle, Raleigh lamp holder, and headlight, and inverted the bars. I have had it hanging on a display wall for the last 15 years. I also recently added new tires and pads within the last several weeks when I took it off the wall to ready it for sale. It has a 3-speed SA with a rear coaster brake. Hope you enjoy!

I am not sure how I ended up on this thread but I think it needs a bump up.....
1911 Steyr Waffenrad, this was my first TOC bike and seems to be the start of when I went off the rails with collecting over 20 years ago. This bike was a Craigslist purchase about 1.5 hours away....I remember riding the bike around upon purchase and being stoked about riding a 100 year old bike, I was immediately hooked and looking for my next hit.
