My new Whip!

I bought this bike yesterday at a yard sale a block from my place. Marked down from $100 to $35 with a note saying that it had just had a $100 tune up.

Sidebar: I broke a bone in my foot on April 24th, I thought it was just a sprain and I'd been living with it, running on it, biking on it all during that time. Finally went to my podiatrist and figured it out, got a bulky aircast to isolate the bone, which feels so good.

Anyways, I was able to ride it with my aircast and it rode very well and the gears even popped into place.

There is a registration sticker from the City of Davis from 1972! There's no rust on the bike, just needs a front basket, and I'll probably clean the chain/gears today.

  1. I love your new bike and am so jealous! I really want an old-school bike like that.
