Thanks for the positive vibes on my frame choice. Not a lot going on this week, still waiting on a time slot for primer and paint. Looks like a LOT of cool bikes being built so far.

Wow, nice combination!

My co-worker retrieved this bike from an overgrown barn that was on a property he bought last year. He said it was hanging upside down from the left pedal. He brought it in for me to look at and try to figure out the usual questions. He told me he had plans to make yard art out of it. When he...

Also did some digging around on the decal on the top tube. "Mr. Zip" was used as advertising when they first started with the ZIP code in the early 60's and is now recognized as a pop icon. Neat stuff.

Thanks Adam, great info as always. So when they refer to this bike as one year only, are they talking about the twin bars that continue into the seat stays?

Yes, those seat posts are cool, I probably won't keep this one. Got a Schwinn red S seat coming for it, then I'll send it down the road.

Got it cleaned and lubed, gotta love the Schwinn chrome. My first kick back hub service wasn't too bad. Still need to clean the rims. Broken stem bolt, but other than that, pretty happy with it.

Thanks Ted. We think alike on this one. Thought it was a muscle bike build and I swear I thought there was a "show us your banana seat" thread, but can't even find that.

I've dug through my content and a ton of posts and can't seem to find it. Someone posted a pic of a 24" bike with 26" wheels. ?Was it here, or am I mistaken?

My boy rockin the step through. Ape hangin.

Picked this one up today. '62 one year only (right? ) Met the seller and then realized it was a 24". Brought it home anyway. Neat bike with Bendix red band automatic. Wheels are true, fenders are straight and very few paint scratches. I think it will buff out pretty good. Cool sticker on the top...

Love it. Bobs your uncle!!

Dang Ted, you gettin busy! Looks good!

Thank you sir! You throwin yer hat in this one?

Starting with these parts. This build will be clean and minimal. It will have some color. Frame will be getting primer and paint in the next few weeks.

Always been a fan of the Skyway. My Goose. Henry loves them too.

Gig. This bike is special. You had a great vision and nailed it.This bike takes lunch money.

Jd, is that a middleweight bike?

Very nice bikes. They will clean up well. (If you choose too) The Roadmaster with the 3 gill, oh mama!
