So, here she is guys, in all of her radiant beauty!! Glistening with joy, love and a story from yesteryear!!!
She’s a 1962 Ross tank bank I scored from my neighbors trash!!! My mother-in-law is also in the picture!!!
Grammaw lives 2 states away and comes to visit (live with) us QUITE FREQUENTLY. She loves a good bike ride and hates the hassle of packing and traveling with her bike.
She actually has a pretty nice bike shop bike at home that she rides a good bit on rails to trails type paths in summertime. She’s never mentioned it, but I’m sure would enjoy having something to cruise around on when she comes to visit in upstate New York.
I scored this Ross out the trash and on one of grammaw’s visits, I showed her the junky bike and laughingly said I got it just for her!!!!
As I thought she would laugh at the idea or grump at me, she actually started to try to “look the bike into shape.”
I told her I was just kidding and didn’t Know what I was going to do with the bike, but if she wanted me to fix it up for her, I would.
She was all about it!!!
So, I know a women’s tank bike isn’t really the hottest vote getting, contest winning, collector seeking ride a lot of guys are building, BUT, I think I sort of need to do this!!!!
Thanks guys and look forward to the fun!!!!
