    Oh man, there were a bunch, including the '61 Flying Star. (Older iterations of the Flying Star were ballooners).

    2012 New Belgium Cruiser

    Kinda funny though, here we are, ratrod-ists, on the ratrod forum, griping about a clearly ugly bike when the designers have clearly gone ratrod in their style.

    What Modern day bike will be the "Blue Bird" in 100 years?

    The photo is not of a Cook Bros bike, the photo is of a Black Sheep mentioned just above the pic, and Black Sheeps are bad-A.

    American Restoration

    That's unfortunately the moniker I'm referring to. It was a brand new 650i, $102k, covered with orange peel... BMW is SUPPOSED to have a pretty good paint process, buuuuut. :roll: My daily driver is a Chrysler/Jeep, 1/4 million miles on it now, I bought it new, it will last a couple more...

    American Restoration

    It wasn't Dodge. It was brought to you by the folks that invented the Autobahn. Frankly they should know better. I grew up in a GM household/family, but after owning several Chevys I prefer Chryslers and Jeeps and have been buying them since 1997. Their interiors are engineered better, using...

    American Restoration

    Funny thought, I was in 'X' brand car dealership getting service last week and one of their shiny new models on the showroom floor, MSRP $102,000.... had orange peel ALLLLL over the trunk lid. You'd think for a hundred and two thousand you could get a car without orange peel.....

    American Restoration

    ^ This is along the lines of what I was thinking. How much do you guys think a REAL restoration costs??? All components bead blasted, grinding, smoothing, glazing applied. Fenders smoothed and glazed (several times). Acquire the CORRECT missing/broken pieces. Chrome work that frequently...

    Which Tools Do You Want For Christmas???

    I really want a fender roller..... But from my research it's obvious I'd have an easier time finding the Lost Dutchman Mine..... :roll: Ditto with a decent spoke threader.

    Roadmaster Supreme

    Ya man that's NICE! It's one of those girls bikes that I'd probably never part out, clean it, new lenses, and keep it forever....

    Approximate shipping charges?

    Rini is flaky, and they're on the high side for shipping. Last week I ordered a set of fenders (front and rear).... instead they sent me 3 rear fenders! What the heck?

    Picked Up Two Ladies in Town This Afternoon

    That's EXACTLY what I thought and asked the owner if the bikes were bought together, she said they came from totally separate auctions. That seat is essentially WHY I bought the Corvette..... then I came home, checked the 1956 catalog and referred to other '56 middle weights, turns out that's...

    Picked Up Two Ladies in Town This Afternoon

    I'll take all I can get. Now if I could find a few from prior to Doube-U-Double-U-Two Having a really tough time with the Schwinn Date codes lately..... I went back and tried it again and found it. I also discovered there's a problem with the way I search those records, I use the 'Command-F'...
