Yep .. The inspiration to our CYCLONE COASTER Vintage Bicycle Ride was to pay homage to history & our hometown of Long Beach California when we started our rides in 2006
The CYCLONE COASTER name was initially inspired from the West Coast CYCLONE RACER roller coaster here in Long Beach...

Your resold bicycle lives on -- I got it from you off ebay & then when it came in - my buddy helped me put it together & fell in love with it - so it paid me for what I had into it -- I went through all the bearings & put on a new chain ( it was frozen in shape ) - so here she is -- RIDE VINTAGE...
Here is my Roadmaster Cycle truck -- well actually 2 of them -- the one in the Long Beach Marathon 26.2 mile ride is my first rusty rider - the sign I silk screened our CYCLONE COASTER Logo onto some burlap from Home Depot & made a magnetic sign that I can pull off the bike when not needed -...

Thanks everyone for the positive response - I knew I built something special I heard a 10 year old kid along the ride as we started out yell out " that bike is sick !!! " - I hope I inspired him with my 1935 Silverking Rat Rod Rider --
