Thought I'd drag this thread back since my kids have kids now. I get to find, build and hook kids up.
The schwinn roadster trike was a given, had to get one for the baby.
Got her sister a garage sale bike w/handle and had a banana seat lying around...
Made some happy grand babies!
I put a banana seat on to try it out, it was great but a little narrow, thin padding. I knew from bicycle shop working in the 80s not all seats are the same....
So i searched ebay for different looking nanna seats, got lucky my first try! Little details like more side area, strengthening rib...
My rig is stupid simple, an acoustic Fender. Simple, safe and I can play slide anywhere....since slide is all I can effectively play with arthritis. Never took time to really learn pitch and where to find them my playing is Taught to me, not learned!
I have a 1 bedroom apartment I run as a BnB, included is a bike for each occupant. This is 1 of my women's bike butt. On a Dyno with all the goods.
I love this thread, great ideas in it.
My first, last and about a hundred Schwinn's in between are sadly gone. I build and sell. What catches my eye, and this time I hope one catches my grand daughter's eye! Starting her off right.
