Hey everyone I'm new here. My name is Lee and I'm from Waco, TX. I've recently started to get the itch to piece together a bike again like I used to when I was around 12 or so. This time I wanted to build something different looking and a nice cruiser to get me to work and back everyday since I live so close now and save some gas and wear/tire on my truck. I started looking around on google and saw a lot of different pictures of bikes that had the general style I was looking for and that's how I came upon this forum. I went and bought this bike this weekend that I found on Craigslist for $25. It had a flat back tire so I figured all it needed was a new tube, but turns out the rim is bent. :cry: So I'll be looking for a replacement if anyone knows of one. Here's a picture of the bike. I've already removed the chrome fenders and removed some stickers. As soon as I find a new wheel and get it on I'll be flipping the handle bars for the time being until I find a different set. Anyways, I look forward to getting new ideas/tips from the site as I build me a nice cruiser. :mrgreen:
