I present Springliner, this bike started off as a 1959 Flightliner that I acquired in Roswell, New Mexico. Shortly after receiving this bike I stumbled onto this website and decided I would wait for the build off to work on this project. Along the way I have received ideas, parts, and inspiration from several members. I thought for a while and decided I wanted to go with a more custom look than I had originally planned, so I came up with the seat and suspension idea. The springs used are from my old trampoline!!! It was painted sun yellow after applying other colors for a perfect patina look, I was going for a barn-find kinda look. I threw it all together and after hours of detail work and getting angles right, I rode it. It rides just like I imagined, smooth. It is really fast due to the over-sized sprocket.

Thank-yous:
Thanks to my wife: For lettin me keep this crap in the house and the pictures.
Huge thanks to my dad for the help on the build and ideas.
Thanks to the Forum members for ideas, information, and inspiration.
