Why does the owner part with it ?
That bike belongs in a parade. Good catch.
The original owner bought it with the first money he earned in '52. He's a real nice chap about 80 and unfortunately can't ride anymore due to an illness. It was hard for him to part with the bike he had owned nearly his whole life, but he was also glad to see it in the hands of someone who will keep it well. Already sent him some pictures of it.
