Uh, no. I wish I could say yes. I have some bikes in greasy parts piles, but this one just sat unused for a year or two.

My guess on the stand would be that it was originally a 26 X 1-1/4" bike. I feel like cutting my stands short so the bike won't fall over when the tires lose air.
Thanks, Frank. And shorter tires never occurred to me. Very clever. They use the same rims? I'm not sure, but I think the tires were original.

Aw, shucks. Thanks!

The porch is one of the sweetest features of our house, which was built in 1888.
