Hi all, Let me start by saying great site. I started working on bikes as a kid, grew into VW's and recently got back to bikes. My Dad worked for Schwinn when he was young. I am into Muscle bikes all brands because they are from my era. I like them as they remind me of being a kid. I also own a very old Schwinn Hornet I rescued from the trash when I was 12. My Dad at the time helped me fix it up, sandpaper and spray paint . I have had it for over 30 years. I recently bought a 61 Tornado 20" that someone did a Stingray treatment to, it's rough but way cool. I will try to post some pic's of some of my bikes once I have a chance.
 
Here are a few pic's of my Schwinn Tornado and a few of my other bikes

My $30 Garage Sale find, it's a 73 Fair Lady - before cleanup.

After Clean-up, and regreasing all the Bearings, rides great.
