Was going through the local ads in the Bay Area and ran across this very unusual bike that was made here in San Francisco many years ago. I inquired about it and the gentleman who was selling it had quite a collection of desirable bikes that we all love. The pictures in the ad were not worthy of what I saw when I went to look at it, was in outstanding condition and was told that the way I see the bike is how it left the makers shop. This may have been on Retro Bike before but with a quick look, I saw only a few of these here and nothing to speak of on the interwebs. So after talking with the owner for an hour or so, I decided to buy this and leave it undisturbed. I will try to find a seat mast that is shorter to fit me better, JP is still in business and accommodating if a part is needed that he has. No more manufacturing of bike parts so fingers crossed he has a 2" shorter one. Second option is have a friend make one similar but that might cost more than I paid for the bike. So here is the bike I picked up this morning and I have not cleaned or replaced parts, as is picked up.
