This bike, oh this bike.
Its getting me in trouble already. I went to the store for chips and rye on my daily. Came home. Parked daily, gazed and caressed the rambler, locked it to the steps, went in. No groceries. Oops. Went out. Gold fork is shining like an object blessed by some sun god. Caress. Gaze. Back inside 3-5 mins later. Empty handed again. Wife is looking at me real strange.
I should say, i got this bike @ 11am. 8 hours and a few pictures and rides later, this is the first time i really saw the seat post joint for what it.
"Nailed it"
As bad as the seat tube is, this is the heartbreak. See the red ano?
Please chime in here, but I'm thinking that whether it be production #, survival rate, or what-not, that this bike is actually much more rare than, oh say, a chrome spaceliner or prewar american made schwinn or cwc...[emoji50] ? Bicycle808 (should be Bicycle411) im looking at you.
Dont worry linguists, i wont confuse rare with valuable [emoji1]
