I took this one out of my Mom's garage. She had it as a kid. I saw the potential in it still.

I even have a child carrier for it that folds up. I don't think that I will carrier my son in it but you could fit your beverage of choice in it.

Here's it after some cleaning and a wax. It had 26" x 1 3/8" wheels that I chaged to 26" to get more tire options. I still have some sticker residue to remove but it came out nice.

Nice update....you might try lowering your fenders.

I think it would look better with the bars right-side-up. Neat bike though.

I had to flip them back. The wife took it for a ride and could not stand the bars down.

What a beautiful family heirloom. Definitely a keeper and Im sure its a smooth ride. I agree about the bars, looks mean nothing if you cant ride it. I have tried several flip bar combos on my bikes and they all hurt my back.
