I end up fixing up at least one bike a year due to them getting stolen all the time (downside of living at the beach) but I've never thought about customizing them. Love old stuff and punk rock so think I'll rat rod out a couple this year for the up coming beach season. There's actually a guy selling 3 candidates on CList (older schwinn girls, 60s roadmaster tank bike, and Evans Viscount 2000) about 60 miles away so might have to grab them up.
