I have to admit that at least half my wheels are antiques and most of them are nonfunctioning at this time. I have a vintage Hutterite wheel that needs a new axle to work but it is a nice little thing and someday I will find a person who can repair it. These are all wheels that I looked at and said nope I can't let you be taken to the dump... All but one need very little work to make them functional again....
So new antique/vintage wheel pops up on Facebook. Did a quick glance eh nice Saxony style but I don't need it. Second photo however grabbed my attention. That footman says Paradis... Go back give all the photos a good look and OMG it is a CPW in really good shape! Needs work I can do and the flyer need replaced or repaired but the price is very low... Sadly my friends think I am crazy but unless that wheel is more damaged then the photos show she will come home with me on Sunday.
In the south when the wind gets to 75 mph they give it a name and call it a hurricane. Here we call it a mite windy...
