So, here comes my first post.

when i was younger i used to be an avid mountain bike rider, i rode everywhere and was afraid of no trail. times changed, i broke my arm severely then my prized GT was stolen..then i got my drivers license and forgot about bikes completely!

about 2 years ago i thought i should look on craigslist for a cool used cruiser.. i found one of these:

it was great, i really liked it, but then i decided it needed to be...kustom

everywhere i went, people would go nuts for it. by the time i sold it, it had matching blue mirrors, a chrome siren and 3 bells.. it was time for something older!

i found this thing:

still dont know what year it is, its def a schwinn tho. the previous owner told me it came off an air force base here in so cal and i can believe it, it has a weird light and some old scrached off markings on the front fender.. i got it some new wheels, bars and did a little paint work and here she is now

its a great bike, i love it just how it is, the only thing i think im going to do is get it some brick color tires (still rolling on the original goodyears) and some black bullet type grips (the originals are flaking apart).. maybe white tires..

well thats all! im going to take some more pictures tomorrow, ive decided ill devote the day to bike work!
 
You've got some really great bikes. I love that Hawthorne! Gives me an idea for a new paint scheme... :mrgreen:
 
hope ya got decent money outta that paramount ! it could fund a lot of ratrods :mrgreen: the military bike looks like a 50's tornado or fleet to btw
 
Schweet bikes.. but I must ask.. Why did your girl look away? lol
 
Awesome bikes. Love your cars. But your Lady, :shock: Shes beautiful. Your a lucky man ;) What kind of car is the black one?
 
That Wizzer is very cool, is that what you wanted the creme Felts for? I think the white Cheng Shins are doing the job just fine.
 
i want the felt cremes for my secret project... the board track frame..

but thanks!

the car is a 1948 buick roadmaster
