i found this in the trash. after a little work, and a few mods, it came out pretty cool. its alot of fun to take the wife ridding.

Why can't my neighbors throw that kind of stuff away. By the way, That is a freakin wild bike. Id ride that and make monkey sounds, due to the bars. You could do a circus show from them. I like.

that's the badest tandem ever! Lovely! Is it a factory model or is it home made? I want one of those

thanks guys, the bike is a 50s western flyer i think, but someone put schwinn seats on it. i dont care, i like it anyway. i put the most rusty set of rims i could find on it. i used 24" rims and fork to try and lower it a bit. i lowered the finders and took a nice set of ape hangers and ground off the chrome so they would rust. its a lot of fun to ride.

That thing looks great! I'm jealous.
What type of garbage piles do you find these things in. Ones around here are filled with dirty diapers and used syringes.
