Hello From Colorado

[Twisted Richard]

Thanks for letting me join, I’m older guy, from Colorado. New into Rat Rod bikes. I have a 1983 Schwinn Cruiser 5 speed soon to be a 15 speed and a 2006 Del Sol Shoreliner Limited.
I’m not a collector I think all bikes should be ridden. I’ve re-built a couple of Schwinn DX-97’s one was a 1949 BF Goodrich branded and the other 1951 Ace Hardware. Both came in pieces and had great earned Patinas. The first took 4 years to complete the chain came as a rusted piece of art.
Looking forward to learning some new tricks.

Flyer.....

Southeast corner of 14th & Benton in Lakewood in a church parking lot. Gonna be a beautiful day! You could also check Denver Craigslist and search 'Swap' for more info. Sorry I don't have a link.....

There will be a raffle for cool stuff and a 'Free Pile" that usually has some neat stuff as well. Hope you can make it!

Another swap at the end of April in Denver area as well.. just went to location today, going to have lots of room.

 

[Mr. Monkeyarms]

That was a fun show & swap last year Mike! Thanks for the heads up.

Hopefully there won't be any drama.

I blame Prop 64 for not making it down to Lakewood yesterday.

On the bright side, I learned where the swap in Northglenn is going to be.
