All done. The project was a challenge and lots of fun. Quite a learning experience. The last parts went on the bike and I wheeled it out to the street for a photo session.
Meet "Barney", a true barn-find 122yr old bicycle:

2 more sleds. Not sure what age they are but they are vintage Flexible Flyers.

I've had a fun time picking over the winter but really really want the yard sale season to start.

My latest pick was a bicycle, an '83 Peugeot UO-14. Stripped to bare frame and doing a complete restoring and servicing and will build with an upgrade from my overflowing parts bin. Yup, "Ryp's Classic Bicycles" is having a good season. Vintage bike prices are going up, talk of bicycle shortages though quite embellished, is serving to benefit the shop.

Here is the finished rebuild on the Peugeot (I may flip this before winter):

In the winter season I do builds and refurbs, then sell in Spring. It's been a busy season. This could be a 3rd wave of bike booms. Sure looks like it.
