Velo Jardin-1948 Westfield

[Laurie Thom]

I am finished....

She goes....


And she glows....


Velo Jardin was found at the bottom of a trash heap. She belonged to Long Tall Larry's mom ( another story for another time). She sat in my garden for several years supporting pumpkin vines. JATS entered the build off last year and inspired me to take the bike that was "beyond repair" and try to elevate her to RAT ROD status. Thank you all for your support. I have pedaled her to the market now and am learning to use the coaster brake.

Please enjoy this little video ALL of you have brought to fruition. I will be back next year...is it too early to post my parts pile?

Enjoy!

Tom Waits is one of my favorites...I am a Southern Girl at heart...Pensacola was my haunt for a long time (Corporation brat).

Thank you for the grips and they are so comfy!
