What A Day!

[bikeriderx]

Well I just returned from my first "shopping spree"! This is what I got:

I'm sure it's not as old as chimichanga's though...Got it for $20 :mrgreen:

And I got this one:

I'm gonna have to do some forensic investigation...It's been re-painted and pin stripped, and I see something peeking out from under the paint. :?:

Nice design touches too:

How 'bout that baby carrier... :roll: Not sure what I'm going to with it...I'd really like to build a burrito...We'll see...Paid $25

And this one:

MY FIRST STINGRAY!!

$10...

And finally some parts:

$10 each...

And I just had to put 'em on!!

I'm HOOKED! :mrgreen:

Nice find, not as nice as your Schwinn!(my opinion)

 

[emanon]

Wow! you done good...where did you find them?
That's the same baby seat I rode in about 30+ yrs ago--they don't make 'em like that anymore!

 

[bikeriderx]

I'm new at this...But Dude! I am CRAZY for these apes! :mrgreen:

Thank goodness!! :wink:
Found this guy on CL...Down in markm's neck of the woods...He had a bunch! After $75 I had to quit! :mrgreen: But I'm gonna chack back with him often...

WHERE???????

Nice Snyder(Rollfast) built mid 60s Hawthorne, and a Huffy built ladies', plus a Fair Lady. Sweet! ~Adam

The truss fork on the Huffy is really sick... I like it a lot.

The decorative piece on the downtube of the frame is actually the lower catch for a spaceliner type tank if I am not mistaken.

 

[bikeriderx]

Hey Thanks!!

So this one is a mid-60's Snyder (Rollfast) Hawthorne:

And this one is a Huffy:

I think I'm gonna make the "Hawthorne" a rider, Maybe chop the Huffy (Burrito ) and try to flip the Fair Lady...

you gonna keep the baby carrier on the bike? thats too friggin cool!

 

[bikeriderx]

Ya' think so? Actually, I had an offer to sell it.... :?: Not sure about cruzin on a ladies bike though... :wink:

 

[bikeriderx]

OH!!! Duh! You mean AFTER the chop.... NOW I get it...Thanks again for the idea!

 

[icyuod2]

alright heres an idea for ya, turn the huffy into a burrito, and use the child seat as a small side car.

alittle inspiration for you. just replace the lowrider with your huffy and the sidecar with your child seat.

its gotta look old and ratty for it to work though.

this ones a diy in popular mechanic's, the aritcal might come in handy.

ya got your work cut out for you, but it sure would be cool!

 

[bikeriderx]

That's too cool...But I sold the carrier...Maybe next time...

 

[bikesntrikes]

That's too cool...But I sold the carrier...Maybe next time...

Hmmm.... always wanted a sidecar for my bicycle(s)..... :mrgreen:

 

[bikeriderx]

Weell...There you go!
