I have a couple of bikes that were found in backyards. They both had lichens when found similar to what you see on trees. One is a JC Higgins frame with Schwinn wheels. One is an ‘55 AMF built frame with parts of various origin, it’s a rider.
I’ve been wanting to give one of these a makeover. Other than the cost of paint or powder coat I have the parts in my stash to redo either one of these. Neither one would take long. I’m a competitor by nature but build efforts don’t seem to be rewarded in the voting. I tend to not do shiny custom bikes.
I guess this post is a placeholder, may participate, might just do one of these in the background.
