Well like the Subject line says, I am a guy, from Oregon with ALOT of bikes. Me and my father have been collecting, working on, swappping bikes since I was in about the 5th grade, I am 26 now. Got my 1st Schwinn Sting Ray then for $5.00. I remember at the time thinking I am spending half my weekly allowance on an old bicycle that needs alot of work, am I crazy? Well I bought the Bicentenial Sting Ray and was hooked. In middle school I rode a Sting Ray with bent springer forks everyday. Have worked on other lowrider bike projects, some I still have, others moved on to new homes. When I got a car at 16 tho, the bikes took a back seat. Havnt done much with bikes since except I have a pretty sweet all original down to the tires Vista 'Lil Giant 20" I ride back and forth to the corner store all the time. Now what got me really excited about bikes again is a buddy wanted my original Nintendo in the box and he had a 1951 Schwinn Panther project. I saw the bike and was hooked again. So now I am startin to shop for some parts and ran across this website. Here are a couple of my bikes that I had pics.
This is a lowrider I started building MANY years ago. Unsure of brand of bike. Filled tank, racked neck, chrome dipped rear section, 20" Schwinn rear wheel with slick, 26" "AS" front springer, and 16" front wheel. Never got the thing painted. All the chrome is new and very shiney.
This is my corner store runner, Vista 'Lil Giant. All original down to the W/W tires. Got it for SUPER cheap 10 plus years ago.
Love the chain guard graphic.
Columbia 20" bike. All original also. Thinkin about putting it up for sale. Dont ride it, just collecting dust. Probably time for a new home.
Schwinn Hollywood converted to trike. Schwinn made a trike so this is probably pre or someone had theres converted. Either way both rear wheels are Schwinn while the conversion is not. Probably going to sell this also, I dont need a trike.
The Trike has a couple cool things on it like this Woodburn, Oregon bike plate.
And this Stewart Warner Speedo.
