Hello from Wisconsin

[Breakpetal]

Hi -

I'm Dave from Wisconsin. I'm just south of Madison.

I've been pulling apart, rebuilding, repainting and messin' with bikes for as long as I can remember.

Here's one I picked up at a local thrift store's bike/record sale this weekend.

Coaster brake single speed Made in Austria Sears.

I'd hoped to use the coaster wheel on a '60's Robin Hood I'm building for my wife. Doesn't look like it's gonna fit. But I got a nice cottered crank anyway.

The Sears has a few nice features like a brazed on 3 speed pully hanger.

Once I finish a few other projects I'll figure out what to do with it.

It's got the right look so far. Ought to make a nice city bike.

Anyway, thanks for having me.

Hi Dave!

I hope you don't mind me hi-jacking this thread! I'm new from Wisconsin too. Not far from Madison.

Mostly a mountain bike background, but have found I really love a good cruiser. I picked this one up this week from that shop on east wash...

Nice!

I worked at that shop when it was Haack's for about a week in the '80's. Nice folks but I didn't want to sharpen hockey skates in the winter. Back then the owner had some really nice old Schwinns in the basement including one of the nicest Paramounts I've ever seen.

The Sears is a 3 speed again.

Butt ugly right now but it got me to the grocery store yesterday.
