Same as it is today

I dont have a pic of the bike i had as a kid........it was yellow instead of white.......but i built this bike as close to what i had at 12.......50 years ago........based on a 24 inch frame with 20 inch wheels...26 inch front fork for that longer front chopper look......back then we didnt have money to buy new bikes.....we would all go to the local dump with tools in hand and scavenge parts etc......and build our own.

pics?

Show us a pic of you with parts and grease as a kid...I love seeing the old pics of us as kids....
That bike is cool. Keep riding.

with my brothers bike....circa 1958-60

I was about six to eight

That was so true ...borrowed Dad's pliers, screwdrivers, "model A" adjustable wrench, and rode to the city trash ditch for scavenging.
