They're probably Big Hanks @ 2.5"

Nice bike, I saw that on CL.

October 17, 1950. I don't know what model. That's a really nice find though. Great color.

The stand on the monark is cool. You need to kick the little arm with the spring forward to lock it in the down position, otherwise it can just roll off the stand on its own. I used to have a mama-chari with one. To unlock it, kick the arm back, roll it off the stand and it should retract on...

71 suburban.

You've reached perfection. Does the old horn unit just not work or is it corroded? Sometimes you can tweak them into working again by adjusting a set screw on them.

Pink Floyd released Animals somewhere around 78. The 9 year/dead connection makes me think it was another band from woodstock. Sha-na-na! I keep wanting to say Commander Cody, or some band like that.

Dude, yep.

Wow, same bike showed up on C/L. I just emailed for it, but when things are cheap on sfbay craigslist you gotta be quick, so I doubt I'll be getting it. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/bik/1086816869.html

Needs a drink holder though. http://cgi.ebay.fr/ANCIEN-VELO-TRICYCLE ... 500wt_1178

No, it's not a 53. it's 60 to 64.

Huh. I immediately thought sandwich.

I told you it was a sketchy deal!

This was delivered to me last week. A sketchy craigslist buy. The wheels need a going through. It's looks cool though. I'm gonna take off some sweet jumps. Last fall I scooped a folder bike for really cheap and ended up really liking it. I use it for almost all of my neighborhood errands...

I've straightened bent weinmann calipers with varied results. If I were to try straightening the one in the picture, I would use a vise to flatten it, and of course protect the finish with cardboard, wood, whatever.
