Banjo,

I sold the bike at an auction last April.

It would have been a challenge, expensive to restore, and the restoration deserved to be done well by a serious collector.

Several concerns kept me from doing anything except just a light cleaning in preparation for the auction. First, even if it was in a riding condition, it was way too small for me. Second, it weighed at least 60 lbs, so it would have been too heavy for my daughter or wife, and still probably too small. Third, it was a fixed gear with no brakes. Considering I live in the mountains, it would have been a challenge to ride in my area.

It really needed to go to a collector who could fully appreciate and restore this very early safety bicycle.
