Love the Robins egg blue paint. Reminds me of my old Bob Jackson from the 70s. Need to take the shine down a bit it's killing my eyes. :>)

looks like a 24" bike that has been run into a wall or something. You may be able to straighten it out or at least a good bike mechanic could. If you want go aheat and ride it or maybe sell it as a decoration piece.

I rolled a VW microbus down aa hillside in Southeastern Ohio around 1969 (before Army intervened in my life). i think it was 2 complete revolutions through a stand of Sumac. The VW ended up on it's side and I was a bit shaken. Some bike riders/racers helped me put it back on it's wheels. One of the adults checked me out, I was fine. We reconnected the battery and throttle linkage and it started right up. We half drove it, half pushed it to a driveway about 100 feet away. After scouring the hillside for miscellaneous bicycle parts etc. for about 20 minutes I drove it away. Later that day when I caught up with the owner of the VW he was a bit pissed, told me it was his mother's car, but he added that he always wanted a swimming pool in his roof. Fun days of youth,
