Riding a '38 Autocycle Deluxe
I would like some opinions on what to do with an 1896 Victor that I have. I don't want to put the money into restoring it, but I like looking at it. Would any of you place this in the yard as decoration or maybe put it on the wall in your garage? I wish I owned a business or a restaurant, it would look great in something like that. It's pretty much original with the exception of the front hub was changed at some point. It even has home made tires on it which was probably more common than not at the turn of the century.
I would consider selling it whole, and maybe even parting it out, but it's just so cool looking, I would rather find a better use for it just the way it is.

There’s a restaurant that I frequent all the time. Good food and they have
antique pedal cars, wagons and steel toys hanging on the ceilings.
They also have vintage signs of all kinds on the walls.
Perhaps there’s a place that you enjoy and you can lend them the bike for
display purposes.
This way you can enjoy a good meal and your bike as well.
I have my favorite bikes inside the house where I can see them and dust
them off or ride whenever the mood strikes.
By the way you talk about this bike, you'd be better not to sell it because
afterwards you are going to regret it.
I wouldn't display it outside unless you want to further distress the bike and
all you will have left is a pile of rust.
