I am so excited to blog about this. On Saturday we went down to Seattle to do some Christmas shopping and look at a bike. I know it’s the winter, but it’s also the best time to buy bikes because people either sell them or store them until next year. After scouring Craigslist for a vintage Dutch bike, Ryan came across this one – it’s a Locomotief from the 1960s and ain’t she a looker!
We drove down to Seattle to pick it up (I also picked up a snowboard from Craigslist) and then headed to Gas Works Park, which contains the rusting ruins of an old gas plant so I could take the bike for a spin.
There are a few things that need to be replaced on the bike and I want to check out the brakes before I really go far distances in it. In the meantime, it’s going into storage until the Spring.
love your bike, i’m looking for a dutch one myself, not that hard as i’m living in belgium.
really excellent wheels!!! You look great on it!! Gorgeous skyline.
