Me riding at 3:30 PM today
This is the bike I tore down to repaint when I was a kid. Lost interest when I got my first scooter, so it never got completed.
This was in the early 1960's. Still not painted, missing some parts, but I am riding it again.
Sorry bout the pictures, they were taken with my phone. Can't get the wife's camera to downlode on my puter. :x

Glad I could help bring back an old bike, now if only you could get that model A together in a few hours!
Whatcha got next to the shed waaaay back there?
I love those storys of guys keeping their old bikes from when they were a kid.

Waaay back there is a Schwinn, woodlands, I think. A western flyer 10 speed and a burned out something or other. all dumpater finds.
Yea I got it bad. I am a bikeaholic.
As for my old bike, I was restoring a western flyer for a friend to use when he goes to car shows, as a vendor, to go back and forth to his truck, and my Dad shows up. He says," your old schwinn is still up in the rafters of the car shed, I'll see if I can get it down." Well he did but all he found was the frame. It is all there somewhere but who knows where. So I got the frame and started looking for parts. That brings us up to today. Still looking for the fenders, but they may be gone as I remember I took them off while I was still riding it. That old piece of junk was faster than any of the new bikes in the neighbor hood.
