Hey everyone , my name is Justin. I have a small collection of bikes, some schwinns, some cruisers and a road and mtb thrown into the mix. I've only been seriously working , restoring, and turning out bikes for a year now...but been riding and racing since I was a small kid. I have owned and wrenched on hot rods in my past and this is sorta my natural progeession over here to rat rod bikes. I do like the shine and the chrome too...I'm working to restore a 1962 black schwinn racer right now. I enjoy all things custom...for their beauty in the arts. Be original and work with you got...build somethin cool!

I've been out of work lately due to a bad wrist fracture I've been dealing with. Now I'm finally out of surgery, cast is off and I'm ready to start buildinga again. I have some great projects in the works and some others in my head. I'm building a handful of bikes right now...


Need some help identifying this old cruiser...see thread in bike talk: Crusty Blueberrry Latte color
