I think you may be right! There is a lot of nice stuff just in the Wichita area! I guess we will see. Thad has so many, it would take him a month just to take pics of them all! :lol: :lol:

Ok Ill bite...

First up, 1938 Colson Tandem. NOT like its rare or anything, seems like you cant swing a dead cat in this town without hitting at least a couple of these bikes :lol:

I am in the process of gathering parts to bring this one back to original.

Next,
1933-1934 Schwinn Admiral

Still gathering parts, getting close, maybe Ill start this one soon.


Next, early 50's Indian bike

started with this....

ended up with this....

Next,

Mom and Dad's Christmas bikes. I fixed these bikes up for my folk's for Christmas last year, started with this...

and ended up with this...

RIP Dad

And of course I cant forget the BBQ bike,

and the bike I fixed up for my wife (that never gets ridden :roll: )

And Ive also been known to roll a little on the Freaky side too...

so there you have it, thats pretty much how I roll

AWESOME COLLECTIONS GUYS! Thanks Mitch, Cameron & Randy. And my wife thinks I have a lot of bikes! :lol: I think we still have more to come.

Randy: Is that purple stingray a 2 speed kickback??? What year is it? I got one brand new for Christmas when I was a kid. I even put the tall sissy bar on it. 8) Hope to find another one in the future. I think it got sold at a garage sale for 5 or 10 bucks! It was pretty rough after many years of use & abuse! :lol: :lol:

No it's single speed. 1965 I believe.

Others that were part of our collection that we rode that have since been given away, sold or are disassembled...

Yeah. Sorry to flood this thread.

I am only posting bikes that I consider part of our collection and that we ride/rode. Not any that were flipped.

So far 3 bikes (or at least the frames) posted by others here I've owned.

My current rail-to-trail bike.

 

[pick]

WOW Randy! :shock: That's a lot of bikes, past & present! Quite a variety as well! 8)

 

[outskirtscustoms]

So that's where all the bikes went. No wonder I can't find anything...it's all in Randy's attic. :lol: Seriously nice collection.

I bet he has a basement full also! :lol: :lol:

 

[Ratfink1962]

no no, his basement is free from bikes.

Beside his attic.... I know of one other secret hidey hole thats packed full of bikes, BUT just like his attic, its just a myth, because I know I havent seen it, and I think the last guy that did see it.... never heard from again :shock: I think his name was Jimmie something :?:











Good thing Randy is a good sport about all this
