Nice, I have a 65 too but needs sanding to put some good paint on it if it's possible to get the original blue for it.



Here is the Men's bike I got from tnt1 which I have been riding that rides and shifts great.

My '61 (or is it a '62?) American:

My '75 Varsity, which was near as I can tell was born within a day or two of when I was:

And my 2009 Classic Deluxe 7, which is really what got me interested in balloon tire bikes in the first place:

Here's my newly-resurrected '52 Schwinn Standard that I've owned for 25 years. Trying to decide whether to restore it or ride it as-is! Having a hard time finding a set of tires that look right... The current ones are dry-rotted and too modern. I like the Fat Franks, but I think they're a bit too much for a stock bike. Any ideas? A new set of grips is also in the works!

I'd ride it as is with a set of red brick tires.

My latest find, and my sweetest little collectible.. a '68 Coppertone Five Speed, pretty close to stock. As far as I (and a few friends) can tell, the only things incorrect about the bike are the new sissy bar and the single, sprung cable clamp needs to be replaced with a double clamp with a screw. I'm going to get it detailed, overhauled, back to stock and do a proper photo shoot... then I'll probably put new (only because it will ride better) whitewalls and fenders on it for awhile and get some super fun and stylin' miles in.. I'm a sucker for the coppertone/whitewall look!

[jiminyshiznit]

I'm in love with this thing! Camera-wise, I shoot with a Canon 5D Mk II, and used a 24-70 2.8L for these shots.

Sorry for the double post, y'all.. I thought I deleted the one in this thread!
