Hey, I see at least one familar design element:

Cool! Maybe we'll start a trend :mrgreen:

 

[maxsideburn]

yeah I think I had seen yours before. isn't yours a bicentennial bike?

my idea kinda stems from captain america....but also was considering doing something with the circle of stars.

either way, lookin' good.

Nope, it's just a plain '61 Schwinn American. I just played up on the name and fact that it was already blue & white, and went from there for RRBBO6...

just an update. got it clearcoated. waiting on the springer fork to come in.

oh, and I have a layback seat post for it.

 

[girlybike]

how are you going to attach that seat to the laidback post? that's the prob i am trying to solve tonight. Your bike looks awesome by the way That looks like a modern saddle, right?

edit: oh nevermind, i googled and saw there are all kinds of laid back seat posts. i have this ancient 7 style solid post on my old prewar elgin. Did you finish up the bike?

I just picked up that same blue Cranbrook from a guy for $20. I like the blue rims on it the most. It's just a basic cruiser, but seems like a good skeleton to make something better out of it.
