KING DADDIO

I'm debating whether to use this '67 typhoon;

or this one for my wife;

[sensor]

how many bikes does the wife have(and would she ride with you and the boy)?

[ej599]

This is her current cruiser.

I just got it functional the other day with nicer pedals, seat, tires and wheels. I still need to detail it. She doesn't like the color though, say's it's Miami Dolphins (my team) green. She's a major Patriots fan (football season is interesting at our house!) , so I was thinking of painting it white with an old school patriots theme to it. I got these decals for it that will fit perfectly where the head badge would go.

Paint that sprocket blue and the chainguard red. I'm planning to put a pats penant flag on one of those bike flag poles on the back.
She also has a Specialized Hard Rock that was mine before I bought a new one. I bought it used and it was a little small for me. She rides that one on the bike trail with us. Here she is riding with the kid. She has a pats t-shirt on.

on the other hand a three speed typhoon for myself would be sweet! Decisions...

the typhoon with some bolt on attitude, the paint is perfect the way it is IMO

[ej599]

Yeah, I could have her pats bike frame blasted, painted and scrounge some parts up real quick like for her B-day in July. then concentrate on the typhoon. I'm looking for a sturmey archer 3 speed hub for the schwinn.

She will be called Typhoon Mary. Here's the seat.

Tank build and seat post mockup.

We'll she be spreading the ratrod disease?

We'll she be spreading the ratrod disease?

Yes, the dreaded schwinntosis strain.

Here's the new seat post.



Here's the bike I borrowed that seat from.

It was cheap. (I just noticed that sticker tonight.)

There's a big wrench in the picture now...

[aka_locojoe]

Nice job on the seat post. You guys have got me wanting ti try that now.

[sensor]

are you throwing a wrench into our plans or did that happen to you?
j/k really like the seat post!

[ej599]

Just a little imagery/smack talkin' because if you weren't aware....I'M the big wrench in the tool box!
