My rat bikes never get a proper build thread because they usually come together so quickly. I picked up this '61 Schwinn Hornet on Saturday morning from a barn that one of my friend's dad owned. I spent a few hours inn the middle of the night Saturday getting it ready to ride. Sunday morning I took it on a 10 mile round trip ride on the Coasters Canal Cruise 2. All said and done the total cash investment in the bike is $1.50 (at the carwash).
