I spotted 2 sweet muscle bikes at a pawn shop today. I exercised what little self control I have and this is as close as I got to them. The one in the front is a Western Flyer of some kind with what I think are aftermarket steering wheel handlebars. The one behind it I think might be a Western Flyer Ramrod with a different seat/sissy bar and missing fender.
Last night I participated in our groups 5th annual 20 Inch Night where you are encouraged to ride a bike with 20" wheels or smaller. This ride gives those of us who have smaller bikes in our collections an excuse to get them out and ride them. Others have built special bikes for the occasion or went on the hunt for one just for this night. Out of the 3 I have, I chose to ride the Cat In The Hat bike. The bike fits me pretty good and is fun to ride. The seat gets a little old after a while though. A couple of years ago Nova bought a bike just for the occasion but she didn't participate this year.
Photos I took can be viewed here.
I decided just to leave the bike in primer for that Hot Rod look. Couldn't decide on a color anyway. When assembling it this time I noticed the rear end of the frame is pretty tweaked. Glad I didn't put any more effort into it. It'll ride fine though. Put on a smaller sprocket, Schwinn head badge and speedometer. Apes with leopard grips off of another of my bikes.
Was looking on here for this photo to post somewhere else and found that I had never posted it here. Chopped the frame of this 24" Sears and extended some forks. This was a short lived project from a couple of years ago that never made it any farther than this.
This weekend was our "city-wide garage sale" and Nova went looking for a 20" bike for the upcoming 20" Night At The Pub Pedal and found this All Pro Dragster.
