It all started with me by raking an old Western Flyer cruiser with the straight bottom tube. I put huge while walls on it, painted it a cool cream color. I put ape hangers on it and an eight ball bell. The rims were 24" aluminum wheels from a bike I pulled from the dumpster. I made my own "HeadBadge" on it just like a SHWINN head badge but instead it said "BOYD". On the bottom tube I had BOYDSTER writen on both sides. The last person to ride the bike was my 21 year old brother that got killed a month later in a car wreck. I sold the frame only on Craigslist for 100.00. (I regret ever selling it) I am currently building a bike dedicated to my brother. I currently have about 6 rat bikes and a few road bikes. My son who is 10 has the rat rod bike
bug also. He has three Schwinn Sting Rays. One 64',one 77,and 66'. I recently aquired a 27" or 68 cm schwinn road bike that has a 12" head tube. (yes a twelve inch headtube)I plan on making my own cycle truck for swap meets and car shows. I have been looking for an old cooler or crate with good patina. I have a 3 speed Shimano with coaster break. A shifter from a commercial oven that I removed on the job that was made in 1923. Any way any advice would help. I have seen a lost of nice builds on here guys, keep it up. Oh yeah, I built a bike pretty close to it about 6 months ago out of an 83' huffy cruiser frame.
