whats up, i'm Russell, i live in Santa Rosa, California. A friend of mine just showed me this site this morning, ...... website. Anyways, i just got done building my cruiser bike, its an old hawthorne frame i'm told, all i started with was the bare frame, i got the forks off an old junk schwinn mountainbike along with the rims. the bike had been painted multiple times before i got it but i decided to strip it to bare metal completly and start fresh, also i didn't want to have a mess on me when i welded in the sides. well now since i painted the bike its got a couple colors under the black. i tried out gunmetal, didn't like that, sprayed some light, almost a primer grey on it, didn't like that, and decided that black looks the best so far so its gonna stay.

here's the bike

And there is a bunch of VW people on this site.I get down to Santa Rosa at least twice a month to pick up from the Food Bank and my reefer truck holds a lot of bikes so let me know what your looking for I just might have it....Jim
