The Typhoon

[ricksterr1221]

Hi im Ricky, and this is my bike for the buildoff. Its a 1964 Schwinn Typhoon 24 incher. I picked her up at the flea market last summer for 20 dollars. I didnt realize how much was wrong with it until me and my dad started working on it. I redid it since i baught it so its not like im starting with an original bike, Lets just say im gonna Ratrod/hotrod it up a bit!

Ill post some more pics as i progress in my build, STAY TUNED!!!

I think he's ok Basscadet..
a lot of us started this way,
some with just a frame,
some with a bike that was half done sitting in the shop.

it's a nice bike,
I look forward to seeing it progress Ricky,

peace,
Kev.

eh, whatever. mine started as a built bike but its been completely stripped, and will be repainted, etc.

You guys im really sorry bout that comment, i didnt mean nothing by it.

i dont really look at that bike as a compleated bike either. if we want to level the playing feild then rick rip it down to the frame then start from there but honestly i think he should get the second period english hall pass on this one lets see those mad skills there ricky
