Yesterday I picked up my Schwinn B6 that Tony Pendergraph just finished a beautiful restoration on. Tony, (tpender3 on this page), is a great guy and does great, quality work. It's also fun to see what project that Tony is working on and talk bicycles with him. He is very knows old bicycles and is always willing to share what he knows with a rookie like me..
For the purists out there...don't worry a a different seat is on the way. The bicycle was in very rough shape when I took it to Tony to restore. He took some great before and after pictures. Chrome was very bad, fenders, tank very crusty and had been painted in places leaving the original finish beyond hope. had a ladies seat on it etc. We salvaged the original parts that were on the bicycle but did add some newer reproduction parts on the bike as well...handle bars, grips, handle bar stem, (original was rusty and bent).
Now I think its a great looker, and kind of cool under the tree.
