Your favorite bike of all time?

[socal_jack]

My Elgin Oriole, nothing on it is "correct", but everything is so right. Anyone that rides it comments on how easy it handles and how smooth it is.

Cool frames.....can't wait to get a chance to ride mine.

I'd be real happy to find one more in better condition, I bet you'll love yours.

My 53 Schwinn Meteor. I worked as a busboy at Denny's back in the early 70's and the dishwasher, Big Ed, rode this to work and back every day. It sat leaned up against the outside wall and got rained on frequently. When he bought a new bike, I bought this for 15 bucks. It was covered in red house paint and had pitting so bad on the lower tubes I filled it in with bondo. How the frame still holds up is beyond me, the tubing must be very thick. The rims were shot also. So just the frame and seat stem is original, the forks came off a 59 schwinn.

Now that is a fork! I remember lusting after forks like that when they were the rage, but all I could manage was some add-on junk that kept trying to work it's way off. :roll: :lol:

My favorite unobtainable bike of all times. A 1910 Pierce Shaft Drive with Kelly Bars . Found one with Craigspal once in Georgia. It was almost complete ,for $300 and the guy wouldn't ship or take it to a bike shop to ship. It was the worst week of my life.....well that and my first divorce.



Not this bike , one like it

The details on it were way ahead of its time. The front forks are small leaf springs....way cool :mrgreen:

^ Schwinn build by JB (Netherlands)

This has to be my favorite.
It's the bike that rekindled my love of customized classic bikes 10 years ago.

So wrong, yet sooo right...

Didn't get it and probably never will have one.

Probably a tie between the Monark Super Deluxe, and the 1956 Schwinn Corvette. The Monark because they're just cool, and the 'vette because that's the first old bike I ever had (and still have)!
