aNother noob intro

Howdy;

I found this cool site thru the schwinn forums and I think i'll fit in here well.

I've been a long time ratbiker...before I knew what that meant and probably because I never really had a brand new bike as a kid, they were always put together frankenbikes out of the trash or thrift stores and usually a freespirit ala schwinn typhoon with crappy murry bmx parts and spray painted ugly. I now have many bikes and enjoy riding them all...they are not wall displays ...but I can appreciate show bikes too.

about me: 37 father of one 6 month son, married-10th year. Live in Houston Texas.

I'll attemp to post some pics:

dumpster,

I don't know what that bike is. I have had it for along time and don't remember where it came from, I think it had a sweetheart skiptooth chaniring when i got it...but it had also been welded and hammered and hit by a grinder too before i found it. It is a blast to ride...I used it when I went to LSU, there I would park it next to $1000.00+ mountain bikes and tear through the main quad dodging sorority chicks.... I wonder what people thought? Anyway, it's a hella fun bike. :mrgreen:

What you can't see until you get up close is the jerry riggin that's holding this thing together...like zip ties, stove wire, and pipe hangers. Character

The bike was probably built before 1936. Looks good though!!
