Don't know yet. I'm remodeling the house and Janet is supposed tentatively to have hip surgery sometime in July. Not sure if I can get away. Would really like to come see everyone. If not there's always next year. Bob

Hey guys, We were looking at a couple of cranks. The one Wayne rebuilt with a new shaft does have a slightly larger hole. Looks like this is because of the cutter used to hollow out the valve and end of the crank. Question, Will the larger hole create more suction or less? If it creates more it should run a bit better on fuel transfer. Anyone have an idea which runs better or if there is any difference at all. Bob

Rick, The 39 looks sad maybe a new home would make it feel better. Hope they still have Portland. I understand their supposed to make a decision sometime in June. Anxiously waiting to see what happens. I'm sure the 55 will look as awesome as the rest of your projects have been. Hope all you northern guys are safe unaffected by the virus and everything is going well. Bob

Rick, If you want to get rid of the '39 call Bob, I really like that bike.

Hey guys, I found this on Craigslist. Youngstown, Ohio. If anyone is interested. Bob

These are cool. I talked to Treen's son right after I bought this. They went to the Schwinn factory and found out they couldn't compete in the market place with their bikes so production was cancelled. There were both boys and girls models prototyped and sent to select dealers to see if there was any interest. Not many were actually put into production. There was actually another model made with the regular servi-cycle front end and fenders. I've only seen 2, the one I own and a restored one, also a girls model, in Texas for sale.

Here's some pics

Hey guys, Don't know if you can trust the officials. But, on the back of the VMBC latest magazine it has the dates of Portland as July 29th thru Aug 1st. I figure Tue thru Sat will be good as usual. Bob
