Looking at the shape of the frame and handle bars I can't help but think there's a very sad old bicycle person out there.
Kind of like when we see an old sewing machine converted into a tractor.
Should be a fun project for you anyway CD.

No new yard sale finds for me but I did stop off at a Tacoma Goodwill on the way home from a Dr appointment today to get my stitches pulled.
They had a few older machines there. They had an old Japanese "Elgin" branded machine complete with cams, a Singer model 603 "Auto-Reel" (apparently Singer hadn't come up with "Touch & Sew" yet) and an older Riccar that looked like a nicely made machine. The cams loaded from the front hidden behind the "Riccar" logo on that one.
All three were tempting but I didn't have enough cash for any of them. I did walk out with a nice piece of black & white woven plaid fabric made out of heavy cotton though.
