tx new guy

[barkeep]

whats up from tx. Just joined after checking out the site the last few days... recently picked up a bike off craigslist for thirty bucks for my fiance and did a clean up of the og paint (under 3 layers of red and 1 grey) and a quick freshen up. 1958 schwinn spitfire.

before and afters (i hate the seat but its comfy for the misses)

so, i was jealous and decided to look for myself... found these guys for cheap and am currently in the research and cleanup phase so if anyone has any info let me know. i have plans for both so ill be starting a few threads and asking alot of questions. i know the flyer is a repro so im toying with a boardtrack theme and plan on cleaning the murray and enjoying... ill have better pics soon, just got em.
