two days ago i was working in the shop and this familiar looking dude walks in. he was my buddy's father who i went to school with years ago. way back then (i must have been 12 at the time) he had a 50's schwinn cruiser that i wanted in the worst way. at the time he would not sell it and it just sat rotting. fast forwards a few years lol and here he is. i asked him if he still had the old schwinn and was amazed that i remembered it. he said "you know what i will just give it to you and i have another that i will give to you too." i was shocked and tried to give him money for them but refused to take it. however i did not get my hopes up as i am almost always dissipointed in life and never catch any breaks lol. well i go into work this morning and there he is waiting for me with two old bikes hanging on his rack. the first one is a 1950 something schwinn speedster middweight (yes a canti frame cruiser not diamond frame) with a hand shifted bendex two speed in green. the other is a racer of the same vintage with the peaked front fender, top hat decal on the seat tube, and a red band two speed kick back hub. both are rough and will take some work to ride once again. i did not have my camera to take pics but i will shortly. WOOT finally i catch a break!!!!
