So many sentimental memories to this beautiful machine. I know you will treasure it and use it with love.

Haven't gotten that far in my planning process. I can't think about these things too long and hard, or else the crying begins again. I miss my daddy terribly -- and still miss my mother, even though it's been so long.

What a beautiful Redeye - my favorite. Are you going to treadle it?

So sorry to hear about your dad. I miss mine terribly, and he's been gone five years.

Excellent machine. Get the motor off it, (don't throw it away, keep it as a souvenir of grandpa), clean it up, oil it, get a new treadle belt, and then you will be extremely proud of your machine. Watch my Youtube vids if you need inspiration.
