my '55

[maybe_im_sik]

this has been my baby for 2 years now. i originally bought it scrapped in some guys backyard with a ton of cancerous rust all over the bike. but i cleaned it up and added a little spark of my own and shes been going strong ever since.

i originally had 22" apes on it but i swapped em for some original schwinn bars off a '54 and am loving how low it feels. especially when i hit them turns :wink:

wow classic :shock:
looks like there could be a spiderman them going on with the tank, or even better VENOM :mrgreen:

haha! definitely more of a venom fan.

im actually looking into getting an original corvette tank, then wrapping it with a webbing so it has shape

the only downfall to the bike is that the linking that attaches to the rear hub fell off. so i have a 3 speed hub thats only running on 1 gear.

thats funny, well I always liked single speed bikes anyway

the tank idea sounds cool, maybe you could paint the venom symbol on the front for the headbadge

and im not too sure. havent really looked at it nor do i know much on a general basis of hubs.

If it's a Sturmey Archer hub, it should have a model and month/date code on the body of the hub. Something like: AW 11/79
Which would be a model AW made around November of 1979...
