Narrowly averted - 1938 schwinn superior

Of all things at the Big 3 car parts swap,

this prewar bike frame 

tried it's hardest to fish the money out of my pocket.

Too small and kinda beat up.

But when do you see a 1938 schwinn superior track bike?

Like a hummingbird at a feeder,

I went back to check it out multiple times over the weekend.

Original maroon paint and gold pinstripe,

rare badge and good rider quality.

The only setback was a smashed up kickstand mount...

and the price.

The deal was sweetened on a doubled up purchase by cousin Brandon.

The power of a package deal.

At home,

after an hour of online searching,

I realized this was a trap.

The same trap I'd fallen in with the Holdsworth frame.

Was I ready to obsess with finding vintage parts again?

Nope.

Didn't give it a chance to grow roots.

Off to Ohio it goes,

along with my grandmothers recycling.
