Hi,
Just found the site and I must say that I like it alot. Everyone here has some great looking bikes and all are an inspiration. I dont know if any of my bikes are "rats" in the traditional sense, but a couple are classics.
My current bikes are: 06 Marin Venezia (garbage), early 70's Campania Medalist fixed(Japanese made Italian impostor), 83 Univega Alpina Sport (urban assault), and a 62 Schwinn Tiger, of which I only possess the frame and chain guard. My plan is to make it a sporty fixed or freewheel crusier; does that make me a hipster?
I also recently put together a bike for my wife to ride on the local bike path with her friends; it is an Aug. 71 Schwinn Breeze, which I think resulted in a classy looking cruiser. I will post it in the gallery today.
Anyhow, keep up the brilliant work everyone.
Laurence
