I went out garage sale-ing this weekend and stopped at this barn because of the few bikes that were out front. With a little bit of talking and expressed interest, the old lady that was running the sale took me up the hill into the big barn and showed me the bicycle honeyhole. She said because she liked me that she was gonna save them the other 20 something bikes till next week, but we managed to bundle in a deal for me yesterday. I even went back home and went with some friends today, and bought more. I got a few pictures for the prizes.
(ALL OF THIS FOR $150)
This one strikes me inparticular. Im figuring its a 1910-1916 Peerless (possibly a peerless master because of the new departure coaster brake and the metal clad wood rear?) the front is a solid wood rim. Any other info?
From what I can see, its a early 40's Hiawatha. the inside if the tank was like brand new. It would be a rider if the tires held air.
And a 1940-41 elgin. this one rides too.
Part of the reason I bought the elgin was this. Ive never seen one before, but I wanted it. It says "STEWART WARNER FLOATING HUB"
And last but not least, an early 40's Structo toy truck. My dad loves toys more than I do. (This is his smile)
The best part is that she's saving them for me! :shock: :mrgreen: Im going back next week to hopefully buy the rest of the barn. If anyone is interested in any of these, let me know.
