So not realy sure as of what to put in here. Ive allways been a little shy and unsure of what to say in public situations. I got my first classic ( a Western Flyer ) two years ago from a little old lady that said that Her Uncle brought it over to her house when she moved in back in 1956 it got ridden around a little and put up in the rafters of the barn and there it sat for the next 52 or so years. That is untill she sold it to me for $125. It was love at first sight and lust at first ride. That was the start of a very dangerous and costly addiction. Ive been constantly on the scavenge ever sense. Unfortunatly in my area of California I dont seem to have much luck finding what I most long for, Balloon Tankers. So ive recently taken to trying to find 1930-1940s frames to do up right (at least in my mind) Seeing as I cant find a complete one to save my life (well thats a reasonable price that is)
Much Respect,
The Western Flyer

Welcome, and at least this addiction is more affordable and less dangerous than most! Like cars, motorcycles, beanie babies, you get the idea! :lol: ~Adam
