    Show me your GOLD! (experiments)

    He said that he does the item in chrome first and then dips it in 24K gold. He charges $100 for a Schwinn badge. I’ll add pictures of his work once I get them. He does old rear wheels and hubs on a Schwinn Stingray in gold.

    Check out this 1955 Schwinn Headbadge. I had it dipped in real gold. My Chrome guy is a Schwinn Collector and does insane work with Gold. He will do S-2 wheels and every piece is gold.

    Old School Italian BMX

    I have no idea on its value but I’m pretty sure it’s worth less than I spent after powder coat. The bike was a little beat up and the cost was low. I paid around $150. The shipping cost from France was pricey. $300 for powder Coat. This stuff is fun. It’s a hobby, not a business for me...

    I found a very interesting European BMX from 1980. This bike is very unique. I don’t know much about it but I’m interested to hear your feedback. Here is a list of cool features. Btw - I just had it powder coated and I’m waiting for brake cables to complete. Currently I have different bars...

    What's cooking?

    At some point they built a small guest house and the grandparents lived there too. Here is the crew’s signatures that are still on the garage floor. The Dogs Kelly and Dale got on the list too. So cool! I love their story and this was an opportunity to tell a bit. Sorry about that.

    There were incentives in early 60’s for young European people. My in-laws were about 19 and 25. She was a kid but already matured beyond her dude. He signed where she told him to. They landed in Ellis Island. There was options and she selected Canada and then drove down to California...

    My wife made me Shepard pie yesterday and I ate the rest this morning for bfast. It’s a traditional meal in my wife’s family. Her folks came overseas from England in the 60’s, on The Queen Mary. I didn’t know about Shepherds pie until I met them. O boy it’s good.
