a very cool link indeed. gotta love those ape hangers and bannana seats in the day. i once read that california state law says that in pertaining to the height of a bicycles handlebars, the riders hands cannot be above the riders shoulders. interesting. i miss my two low riders i built about 4 years ago with big ape hangers and custom bannana seats.

Bookmarked! That is very inspiring info... I stayed up late reading this the other night and ended up having a dream about the next 5 years --'63 to '67.

In that last chapter ('62), the Little Swinger bike is shown in front of some sort of Tiki-themed backdrop. I wonder if this was the exterior of one of the old Tiki establishments.

That little swinger is just plain bad to the bone makes me wish I paid more attention to that bike shop in Hayward when I was a kid.
