the latest one was to get a vintage 3-speed bike, preferably blue. this started earlier in the summer & I was able to ignore it until recently. mostly because I was pretty hooked on the electra bikes or a totally restored vintage one, but since they were all {way} out of my budget I was at an impasse.
{its funny, I never get obsessed about things like keeping a clean house or eating healthier...}
then, for the heck of it I checked craigslist the other day.
there were a surprising number of blue bikes to choose from...
I ended up getting this one:

once I got her home I, of course, had to take some photos:

DANG! Sweet ride! I love your score and her sweet name. Enjoy!
oh she is a beauty! enjoy riding!
Oh, I like it! Totally dig the headlight too!!
It's very cool. I'm like that too--once I get something in my head, I just can't move on until I've done it, but it's never really for important things like cleaning up or exercising or.... ;)
beautiful! I have a brown foldig bike with a seat just like that!
I love it! I have been wanting a vintage bike too! I have yet to buy one, but one day....
GREAT photos! Lovely bike too. :)
sweet. You'll love bombing around on it.
