I haven't been on the forum much lately, but that doesn't mean I haven't been busy....I sold my second build to help with my 52 Chevy project...but I ended up with 2 complete bikes and a frame.....oops. I found a 1953 Schwinn Majestic, skip tooth chain, springer fork and these crazy bag holder/crash bars on the back. I have a 66cc Skyhawk kit to put on it....I'm thinking white tires, black wheels, flip the bars, Sturmey front drum/dynamo, LED headlamp and a custom tank if I can afford it. I also have a 1950 Hiawatha that I can't put a pic on for some reason. Any other ideas? Thanks for the input and keep up all the great info and photos! Chips X

I wouldn't think of painting these old bikes. I just make them functional and safe :confused: and leave the rest as I found it....I usually just do tires, wheel brakes and the motor kit.
