hey guys- new to the board-
im 44, father of 5, grandfather of 2. grew up in the 80's in bmx freestyle era....first bike was a pieced together chrome bmx frame with red tires, grips, seat, brakes, and red/white checkered pads.
i moved on to a GT pro freestyle tour team model in 1987 that i paid for with lawn mowing. I built it one piece at a time from frame up.
ever since then i have been on two wheels in some capacity or another. The last 20 years its been either my Schwinn beach cruiser or Bianchi Pista w/coaster brake that i custom built and powder coated creme. I had also bought a 26" GT performer two years ago.
Now my current bike is a homemade "klunker" of sorts.
I bought a "Madwagon" Hermosa beach cruiser off Nextdoor for $50.
I'll post pics of it in another thread-
here are pics of my last ten years bikes and one from 1987 that started it all...hope i can contribute to the forum!
