Just Inherited Tons of Bike Stuff and Ambition to Start Building!

[DetroitBikeGuy]

Hey guys,

I'm from the Detroit area. Rochester to be exact. I've been a long time enthusiast, mostly BMX bikes over the years, but a little bit of everything. A friend of mine recently recommended my to this site. I've added a couple pics of just a few things that I have to get started. I'm pretty sure I'm addicted already! Feel free to chime in if ya got any ideas to get me off on the right foot, Thanks.

Wow , you have a nice start, lots of good projects right there.

Wow, it takes some guys years to build a stockpile of parts like that. Get building, looking forward to seeing what come about from that stash.

Awesome! Welcome!

Thanks everyone..I Really look forward to getting started, thinking of using the Yellow Schwinn Fastback, or the black framed Murray with the banana seat

Do I spy a black spaceliner or spyder in that first photo?

Luke.

Well actually im having a hard time identifying it. I thought it was a 65ish Murray Solar. Basically because thats what it says on the chain guard. But when i looked at the vintage catalogs, there seemed to be a few inconsistincies with what was in the picture..And Im pretty sure the one on the far left is a fleet line..

Welcome aboard! Great stash of bikes and parts
Looks like you have enough tires for 13 lifetimes!

 

[DetroitBikeGuy]

lol, Yeah thanks, ive definetly got options!

Make sure you do your research before building anything that would be irreversible. Some of those bikes might find your entire hobby for a while. Might....not Will. But better to know the values first. Good Stingray chrome is getting expensive and hard to find. What a fantastic start in the hobby... was it all from a family member?
