1956 barn find...found at copake
The build includes Mephisto rims, Simplex "franken"qrs, Philippe bar-stem, Ad-Hoc pump, Huret suicide front, Lam super dural brakes, Lefol fenders, etc..
The tires look scary, but hold air. The derailleurs are adjusted and shift perfectly, the brakes are adjusted tighter than I like, but that's a personal thing,, wheels are straight and run true, everything works!
Makes me wonder what the owner's last ride was like?
Did he finish the ride feeling like a champion, or in utter disgust because he knew his best days were behind him,,, we'll never know?
--------------------------------------------------------------
The indoor, on line auction is tomorrow
I'll be working in the shop and won't even check in.
No need to, I had my day today. The weather was perfect,,I sold a bunch of stuff, got to hang with good friends, and I fell in love ,,, what could be better?
