I'm Hoping I'll find something like this.
I've always been a bike geek. It's a great cheap alternative to building a car, and was my main hobby until I started skateboarding. lol
This is my old Schiwnn. I bought it, and the two parts bikes that went into it, in one Goodwill trip, for 12 bucks. I stripped, repainted and rebuilt it in three days. I lost it when a freind's little brother stole and traded it for a dime bag. F!@$%%?g little prick. lol
The really sad part is when I bought it had seven layers of flat black paint, and some hand painted vines, that look horrible. When I sanded the black off I found the original heavy metal flake green, and white two tone. I which i had the skills to paint it back to the way it was. This flat yellow look great though. I picked it because I had just see a 53 Mercury hotrod the same color. And man were those baskets handy.
I bought this Hiawatha at a rummage sale two years ago, but the frame was two twisted to be salvaged. I do still have the Schwinn skip tooth drive though. I'm hoping I can find a frame to put it into.
I love this old sprocket.
Here's some pics I found for inspiration.
