Just found this site. I've been restoring and customizing my bikes for years, and occasionally making one for a neighbor or friend. I've been lucky enough to bike all over the world, having served in the Navy. My favorite is my 53 Schwinn, made up of parts I've scrounged over 30 years. I did a complete down to the metal restoration a couple of winters ago. My wife can't ride a 2 wheeler, but we have ridden tandems, so the rough 63 tandem is going to be a try at a ratrod. I fixed up a 61 Columbia trike for her, it even had a differential. She sold it at a yard sale! Just because I only had 15 bucks in it didn't mean it wasn't worth a fortune! I live and ride in Mayport Florida, and just moved in to our new home here. I have to hang my bikes close together to have enough space. I had 11 bikes, and every time I looked, I had one more! My friend figured it out. I didn't separate the boy bikes from the girl bikes! They were multiplying!
I'll post up some of my photos.
