Hi
Just a quick intro for me so I can ask an opinion on the main board. I had bike envy from a buddy who put together an older schwinn clone to ride around town. He picked me up a rough 40's Hiawatha from a swap meet a few years ago, and then I found this site. I have picked up a few more bikes since then, a 50's Gambles branded Hiawatha Meteor, and a 60's JC higgins that looks like a spaceliner. I build old cars mostly, but the bike stuff is growing on me. I picked up a rough Silver King frame and fork at the swap meet last weekend, and need some help deciding what to do with it. Hope to learn some stuff and contribute when I can.
Thanks!
