1964 Schwinn American.. My Favorite Rat Cruiser.

Picked up a Schwinn SSX from Cl for 100 bucks, converted coaster brake to a freewheel because the coaster brake made too much noise, put on weinman brake levers I had lying around, had an extra seat, flipped the handlebars, added fenders, black bow pedals, an old chain guard and put a black bullet light on.

Here's my 2009 Electra Vince.
I'm going to add the front springer section of some Monark forks and a chrome rear reflector.

Love those classic full fenders. 8) Truing/tensioning those wheels would annoy me no end :roll: , but I guess with that many spokes, they probably don't move much. :? If you stick a card in the wheel, does it sound like a 2-cycle? :lol:
