Yes! Trying to promote the hobby. Not bring anyone down. Stuff is still out there to be found.

Geez, you think you pick up a couple of really nice bikes throughout the year, and then you see this thread and what everybody else scored this year. Makes what I got look like crap....

I know right? I thought I was going to be a contender this year and finally hang with the big boys, but it looks like I'll be sitting at the kids table again for the awards banquet. You guys are serious!

We all started somewhere with something we thought was the greatest , It has a lot to do with time served and connections made . We still enjoy seeing the enthusiasm of all who enjoy these old bikes and preserving them . Sites like this cater to ALL . And yes there are a lot of amazing collectors with amazing bikes . I think the goal is to die with the most toys .

This year was good for me these are a few of the bikes i found. 1940 Dayton National that almost got thrown out. And A 1939 Colson ribbed snap tank. Plus a 1953 Roadmaster luxury liner Christmas edition. I also found a few other bicycles but i never took pics of them yet.

Who's the fool that almost threw that gorgeous Dayton National out?!

1937 Huffman Firestone Supreme Streamline with original aluminum fenders from grandpas to sunny California.
Even came with two out of three of my initials in the fender tray. Soon to have an original “M” letter to make my initials complete. It isimpossible to find your original initials, but to find an original Streamline connected to them is even more impossible.

Wow!
Magnificent Cycle, John.
It's hard to tell from the picture. Is the putter stem an original three hash mark type?
Fantastic, bike!
It looks like a very close mate to your Firestone Twin Flex.

There are a lot of amazing bikes in collections right now that were pulled out of the trash! I know of several Bluebirds that were pulled from dumpsters......

Nothing compared to some of the amazing finds posted here, but I found my best buy this year just a couple weeks ago off of our beloved classifieds.
