    Brain buckets

    I just got a Bern Bentwood got my first ride tonight but its light and feels lots better then the old skate style helmet I used to wear. I also like the hat visor, its removable and they make a winter insert for it to keep your head warn in the winter.

    Well rode it around my block yesterday, had to do some adjustments but it rides nice. Although I need to ride it more sorta tricky to shift and turn.

    Went home on my lunch break and threw it together I couldn't resist. Will take it out on a test run this afternoon, I have always ridden either a cruiser or ridden bmx. This is the first time I've been on a "road" bike so should be interesting.

    I was really happy with the way the bar wrap turned out. I've never done it before just hope it holds up when riding

    Have the brake lines routed, ordered a brooks saddle so should have it cruising soon pretty stoked about it. Also didn't have a seat post that fit it seems to be an odd size s took an old one split it made it larger and welded up the slice fits perfect now.

    Although I like the clean look of a single speed or fixie bike, alot of my buddies go on long trecks and I will end up going on some I'm sure. So want to make something that isn't going to kill me on a pretty long ride. The gold was just a random though went and got a calligraphy paint pen...

    Hawthorne bike ?

    This one is still for sale and doubt it is going anywhere. Think I'm going to let it sit up for sale for as long as I can so guy will be willing to come down more.

    And the bus lets just say its a large project, was parked in late 70's and was never covered up. I've replaced a decent amount of metal but still have alot more to make and weld in.

    Thanks for the kind words. I've never owned a bike with gears, all of them have been single speed cruisers. So having to figure out how to run the cables to make it as clean as I can. As far as the colors go I like the mint green and this was the closest I could find at Lowes, the painted the...

    Got to come up with a name for this one but was just a 70's Japanese road bike that was given to me. Been wanting a bike to ride with some friends and one of them had this hanging in his garage. As delivered I had some paint laying around so I stripped it and started with a mint color

    Hawthorne bike ?

    Yeah I know girls bikes are not worth alot. The only reason I'm even wondering about this one is the springer. The person is asking WAY to much wants 100 bucks for it. I was thinking of offering 40.

    Hawthorne bike ?

    This is listed on my local craigs list as a 50's hawthorne. Any idea of year and value, I can't find one with 2 bars in the middle or a springer like this one.
