I have acquired three more vintage bikes to my collections,two of which are shown here. The above bike may not qualify as a vintage bike as I not sure how old it is but guess it only about 7 years old. It a Dahon Foldup bicycle. I had to do some work to get it into a good rider and it now just like new. I got this bike to take it with me camping as it folds up and I can put it in my car trunk easyly.
My first time riding it I felt like I was riding a toy bike but since I now gotten used to it I think it a really fun bike to ride and probably could ride it on long distance rides. So far I only ridden it for distance of 10 miles and that was no problem.

The above Bike is one that I bought back in the early 1970s and sold after a couple of years. I recentlly contacted the person that I sold it to and bought it back. Actually I had two bikes that I sold one for me and one for Leila. I bought both of them back but only have one of them posted there. I need to do more work on the girrls bike before I take any picature of it.
The bikes are made by Hulfy and are not particularly valueable, I only got them because I used to own them. The cost to restore them I expect to cost more than what they will be worth. I hope to find some Huffy's for sale that I can use for parts especially the chrome parts.
I hope to get a couple of more vintage bikes to add to my collections and I am looking for them now.
