I try to get a look at it every time I watch that show. Never seem to get a good look at it though! If you remember the original format of "This old house" they used to buy old "fixer-uppers" and do practical repairs and needed up-grades, then they would "flip" the house(sell it) for a substantial profit. Monies made on sale would purchase a "new" old house, and the process would be repeated! Seems to me that a lot of us do the same with bicycles. Perhaps some of our more seasoned east coast counter parts should contact the show and show some of the cast how to do the same with the "wall art" in their barn! Maybe ask this old house ,if we can show them how we roll! LOL Later& PEACE!!! :wink: Hope Kevin remembers to look out for the septic tank hole on the test ride! :shock:

LOL! Me too. I think it's just a generic Huffy or Murray cruiser, but I always look at it anyway! I've been watching TOH since the early 80s when they first started out. I was a bored kid flipping channels on a saturday afternoon, and stopped to watch them knock down a wall! In 1997 I bought my own old house and started fixing it up. Now I do it for a living!
