So, here comes my first post.
when i was younger i used to be an avid mountain bike rider, i rode everywhere and was afraid of no trail. times changed, i broke my arm severely then my prized GT was stolen..then i got my drivers license and forgot about bikes completely!
about 2 years ago i thought i should look on craigslist for a cool used cruiser.. i found one of these:
http://micargibicycles.com/ProductDetai ... oductID=21
it was great, i really liked it, but then i decided it needed to be...kustom
everywhere i went, people would go nuts for it. by the time i sold it, it had matching blue mirrors, a chrome siren and 3 bells.. it was time for something older!
i found this thing:
still dont know what year it is, its def a schwinn tho. the previous owner told me it came off an air force base here in so cal and i can believe it, it has a weird light and some old scrached off markings on the front fender.. i got it some new wheels, bars and did a little paint work and here she is now
(you can see my girlfriends flightliner in the background, we have matching ones, how corny)
(before the cool leather seat)
last week, i dropped the seat down and flipped the bars (pics later)
i dont have too many pictures of my flightliner, but here it is (for now)
ive been trying to find time to slap it all together.. tough schedule tho
the whizzer
im really upset with the whizzer right now, it needs a lot before im happy with it
heres a vid of the straight pipe

ive been designing a true board track frame for this thing.. more info later
i had these two racing bikes for a bit, but i sold them
now to my fav bike, the 38 hawthorne
in action
its a great bike, i love it just how it is, the only thing i think im going to do is get it some brick color tires (still rolling on the original goodyears) and some black bullet type grips (the originals are flaking apart).. maybe white tires..
well thats all! im going to take some more pictures tomorrow, ive decided ill devote the day to bike work!
