My hubbie loves to fix up vintage bikes and this one is his latest re-creation. Rust and flat tires were all you really could see and while in the process of refashioning, cleaning and restoring it to its previous splendor, he made a fun discovery.
A DOLLAR BILL TUCKED AWAY IN THE HANDLE BAR

It would be fun to know the story behind that dollar. As you can see by the rust around the edge, it has been there a good long time, through many a rain or snow storm. Was it being saved for a rainy day? Seeing as the bike is from the mid 60's a dollar would have gone a long way if you were going to go to the corner store. As well the dollar went out of print many years ago . Oh the stories that bike and bill could write. The beauty of the bike is the fact that my hubbie saw beauty beneath the rust, and recreated it into a once again rideable beauty. And just goes to show

That is so neat, finding the $1. You are right, the stories the bike and the $1 could tell. It is wonderful to find little bits of history when you least expect them. Great job restoring it.
