and on that note i just got the Flying Star back from powder coat this morning Sexy: originally: springer front end should be here in a few days, just need to reupholster the old seat and she's just about ready to go :)

I've finally gotten around to working on my 57 Flying Star stripping paint and cleaning up the frame, dropping it off to powder coat this afternoon. I wanted to replicate the graphic that was originally on the bike after it gets painted so i grabbed an image and cleaned it up in photoshop to use...

yeah i noticed that too, I wish the truss rods where complete and I could get a better idea of whats going on here. I'm really glad this looks like a good find. I will definitely take and post pictures of the garage when i can get into it, most likely Friday after work I'm going to head down...

Re: And so it begins...1952 Schwinn Flying Star Yeah after looking at the catalogs that makes sense that i might be 1957. I'll do some more looking into it.

Re: And so it begins...1952 Schwinn Flying Star Not that I can see, the frame looks to be original paint and fits the era, there are no welding or cutting scars on it.

Just down the road from my office there is a gentleman that is...well...he has a yard full of garbage basically, a pack rat in the purest sense. Old hippy, I think he has been drunk every time I've been over there :) Tucked back in the bushes he had an old Shelby in pretty rough shape (that i...

will do. I am just about to score a bunch of 40s-50s cruises left in some guys garage in the town i work in, so if i come up with any fenders that are usable as a guinea pig and not worth keeping ill give it a shot this weekend and see what i can come up with. I figured it would add a fair...

I want to build a set of skirted fender similar to this: taken from the gallery: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=18391&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=45#p188363 But before I start going nuts with the welder I wanted to find out if anyone had done a set of these and could give me a few pointers. I have experience...

hey, I'm postman. Currently riding a late 60s Rollfast cruiser (pics in the gallery forum) and have various projects in various stages that will most likely never be completed. I live in SE South Dakota, getting close to 30, married,no kids etc etc. I am a technical writer for a company that...

I still have the original seat for the Rollfast so i might reupholster it and use that, but the seat thats on there now, though ugly and huge, is like a lazy-boy for a bicycle and it was only $5 :)

I picked up this Rollfast about a year ago and have gone as far as replacing the tires, goose neck, handle bars: Since the picture was taken i have gotten an nice fat black seat. A few weekends ago i stripped the paint and rusted the frame using vinegar,salt and heat for that nice surface...
