I'm suffering from this too. As I posted in my intro a friend of mine, an older Gentleman, has a barn chock full of fat tired bikes by Schwinn, JC Higgins, Columbia, Western Flyer, and more. He was going to sell me a 57 Schwinn but changed his mind as he wanted to let his grandchildren ride it while they were here. It's the only one he had ready to use. He said I could just pick another one. So I have to wait till next week until the grand kids are gone and he has time to to deal with me. I can't remember nor do I know enough about them to tell you what was in there. I'm just gonna pick one that looks cool to me. He did have a really cool bike with a tank that had portholes like an old Buick. He said there are supposed to be jewels in the portholes. It has lot's of other cool things on it to. Some sort of super rare headlight on the fender too. It's a girls frame though. He also said it's rather valuable even for a girls bike. So I will pick a large mens frame for my first "Rat"... I don't get to sleep for a whole week!
