Here is an 1898 Glenwood path racer my buddy found in a barn estate sale. He ended up getting the bike to me as a Christmas present 2 years ago. The bike was stunningly intact with gorgeous paint, tool kit and racing components. Amazing bike. The resto was a labor of love.

Found a frame I believe to be a Loomis Lightweight , mid teens made in f Mass USA. Had been cobbled together as a roadster but retained its Bottom Bracket, block chain and chainring. Outside of bicycle specific auctions and private collections it's the only American Made lightweight diamond frame I've come across.

Unfortunately no luck on that Peugeot. Owner gave me everything to send a wire transfer and when I asked shipping, he said 50 euros…That’s 60 USD to send a bicycle from Italy to the United States…
I asked why so cheap and then that’s when he went silent.
The search continues I guess!
