This bike was a wall hanger in a shed for many years. Tires & tubes, fenders and a few accessories added by me. Still need to change the handlebars, lots of rust under the gold paint. Great swap meet cruiser.

Some folks think this is a vintage bike, actually a Dyna I traded for in 2013. Started adding accessories to it after my first trip to Memory Lane and Ann Arbor. Lot of fun to ride and let folks have their picture taken on.

What brand / type forks are these? The bike is a Mercury frame I picked up in 2011. Finally got around to building it this year!

Picked this up last month while on an "Old Cars and Parts" trip. Started cleaning it up this week. Would look great displayed with a Dodge Super Bee!
