the one on the left is cool it has that klunker look to it but all are sweet looking

that beerrun bike is cool
the double canti is definitely awesome i like the way the frame is built.
very nice work
is that beerun bike huffy the wheel? or is it a custom build or kit?
that's a cool setup
thanks for posting

Glad you like my two builds. BEER RUN is a Schwinn Typhoon. The steering is all redneck engineering. Here is my build thread (viewtopic.php?f=55&t=42349 )
 
man alot of work in that build
i never thought of it being a typhoon
very nice sides both bicycle and art
thanks for sharing i can/t wait to see what you build next
flipping bikes is the same way i support my habit that and i do repairs as well as salvage wrecked bikes
again we think alike lol
thanks for posting

heya aka_locojoe

that's quite a sweet collection there!
some really nice work and lots of hours into those..
excellent examples of just how cool these bikes can be
i agree the canti frame is iconic and it is a comfortable cruising bike .
i think imo opinion that's why their so iconic with both rat rodders like us and people who just wanna cruise there is so much potential you can do with these and your collection shows just that.
thank for posting

I'm building a 1938 cantilever frame - into a clunker.

But it's going to be one blingy clunker. I'm having Ed Litton do a resto-paint job on it - and I have a ton of super nice chrome wheels, bars, stem, sweetheart cranks, etc.

If anyone has good pics of an OG cantilever frame - I could use close ups on the darts that I can pass on to the painter.

Otherwise - I'll post pics as I get closer!
