New here and new to the hobby

[imprez25]

Good Morning, I'm new around here (I've been lurking for a couple of weeks). I just got what appears to be an 1981 Schwinn Cruiser and I'm looking to rat it out. It has spent the last 15+ years in my parent's back yard. Overall it is decent condition, it does need a new headset/handlebars and new rims/tires. The rims are really rusty, and I'd like to use them, but the rear seems to be bent pretty badly. I'll get some pics up soon.

Just wanted to say Hi.

Okay, so I found the SN and turns out this thing is a 1954 Tiger. So, I'm a bit more excited to work on it. Unfortunately I had to cut the the head set in order to get the front fork off, thus ruining the fork.
