Help Support Rat Rod Bikes Bicycle Forum:
Dave some collectors say that is the natural progression of the hobby, you will be a TOC guy after your prewar stage. I don't know about that, I am stuck in the late 30's to mid 50's balloon bikes with nice curves and stylish tanks. I think the TOC bikes are just to angular for me.
Nice bikes, they will make a fine pair of rides for you and your lady!

Interesting theory, I rode modern bikes till recently, middleweights lost their luster quickly, these big well built bikes with personality and parts availability at a decent price seem to suit my britches just fine! Getting girls ones and ugly ones helps the wallet too and IMO have been just as much fun to research, fix up and ride!

Don't know what I'm doing, gonna do it anyway.
I agree, not into TOC bikes. But I do have a soft spot in my heart for CWC bikes. They are definitely one, if not, my very favorites. And they ride Awsome!
Turn of the (last) century bikes have their charm I suppose, but between the plethora of proprietary systems and parts, and straight tubed diamond and "moto" frames, they just don't speak to me like a nice ballooner or modded middlewieght. Strangely though, MTBs and bmx "cruisers" do. 
What took you so long, Dave.....no pre wars in your 'hood?
Well, I like trail riding and my fixie...then i got this old bike bug in my bum...I was OK with the 60's bikes until I rode my first ballooner (DX schwinn) then I got this prewar CWC. After a trip up my old dirt road on it and around the country block I knew I had arrived at my destination! Ratty old prewar CWC's are for me!
just think how many more boodies have been sittin' on those pre wars than your middleweights! Ugg. Disgusting thought, eh?
That's kinda weird...
A 36' CWC Hawthorne brought me to RRB, raggedy New Departure hub and all...love it!

Ah yes, the CWC addiction. They are among my all time favorite frames. The lines are so smooth, I never get tired of these bikes!
It's not pre-war, but here's mine.

Dave I believe there is a page that is just dedicated to the smooth lined hump back CwC . Don't forget to post some pictures there & check out the rest of every one else's. [emoji106][emoji106]
