Hey everybody,

I've been checking out the forum for a while and I thought it was about time to start posting. There are are a lot of truly incredible bikes on here and I love the creativity that goes into them. I live in the San Francisco East Bay and I make a living drawing silly pictures as an illustrator. Way back before I was able to drive me and my friends were really into old bikes (especially Schwinn's). Our bikes were definitely ratty and the more unusual the parts the better. I've had a couple frames and parts hiding in storage for quite awhile, and now it's time to bring them back to life. Mark


This is and illustration I did a couple years back while I was still in school. It's the only one I've done with an old bike in it, but maybe it's time to do a few more.

Welcome to the site, it would be cool to see someone build forks like that using monkey wrenches to hold the front wheel.
