1. 1933-1936
Schwinn World B10E motorbike. Overhauled and painted. The saddle has been recovered with
leather. This is the original fat tire bike, the first Schwinn to ever be created with fat
tires. Rides like a dream. I have owned this bike since 1985. Originally I bought it in
the Missoula Montana landfill for five dollars. Of course it didn't look nice like this. I
actually sanded it down and painted it back in 1985. Then it sat on top of my bicycle bus
for nearly twenty years and rusted back to worse than ever. In Sept of 2003 I restored it
again. Click on the picture to enlarge. |

5. 1930s Hawthorne
Duralium made by the Silverking bicycle company. Silverking made the world's first
aluminum bicycle. Frame, fork, crank, chainguard, wheels are all original. Even the tires
are over fifty years old, and still hold air. The handlebars are as ancient as the bike,
but not the aluminum ones the bike came with. The seat has been repainted and recovered
with leather. All the bearings have been overhauled. Click on the picture to enlarge. |
