Hello All...Found a couple of goodies last week. Have a look
1970s H.P. Snyder Mohawk 3 Speed Touring Bike
Kmart Allpro
Autobike 1200 6 Speed Self Shifting
Cleaned serviced adjusted, this thing rides great and the shifting actually works great. I had read that the gears 'clunk' when they change, I don't find that true at all..this is a clean easy rider. But, you really got to git on it hard for it to start shifting, when you brake or slow down , it automatically shifts down to low gear.
Army Green Cruiser
I bought this one just because if looked like fun...I can't find any marking on it..it's a bit rusty crusty w. nice patina, whoever painted it years ago did a good job, it was frame off, no overspray..even the inside of chain guard is painted. What is it..any guesses?? I'm thinking older 80s Huffy, Murray?
I had some old fenders laying around from an old Micargi beach cruiser, with a bit of persuading, they really beefed up the look..I'll probably play with this for a while, keep messing with it . Future build idea? maybe.
There's more, but this is a good start.
And great job to everyone on the big build off this year, all winners in my book. I missed the whole thing, up in Pennsylvania July and August taking care of Mom...got back to Florida just in time for Hurricane Irma. That was fun, rode it out in the house..WILD.
take care,
Franco
