Hello... new member to the forum. I'm an avid mountain and road cyclist, but fairly new to rat rod bikes. I previously had a vintage Burgers E.N.R. that I restored after pulling it out of a neighbor's garbage, but ended up selling it because it was too small for me to comfortably ride. I recently picked up a Schwinn Tornado from an estate sale for $60. The frame was re-welded at some point in the past at the upper seat tube junction, which detracts a bit from its current appearance, but this should be less noticeable once it's repainted. I'm still planning out what to do with it, but I'm leaning toward the board track racer style: red paint, wide cream-colored tires, flipped handlebar, low set back seatpost. Suggestions and comments are welcome!
