A custom Typhoon

Next to install was the headset cups, fork, stem, and handlebars.
Cleaned out the powdercoat from the inside of the tube, I used a cordless drill and a small wire wheel.

Are those exercise bike handle bars? I have three sets of these and have a couple sets on two of my custom builds. Nice build. Razin.

No they are just bars I purchased from my lbs. I think they are just wald brand.

This is a custom build that I did over a winter. It's a blend of old and new and became one of my personal riders. It started with just a bare frame. Then I found a Chinese Schwinn girls donor bike for parts.

I wanted to use the springer fork and the wheels and tires.

Nice donor bike. What did this one set you back? Just curious. Thanks. Razin.

My girlfriend got me this nice Detroit cargo tool bag for my birthday.

I put it on the handlebar because it interfered with the rear rack if I put it on the seat.

I now call this one done, it rides real nice.

It's my personal rider for the neighborhood.

What's the turquoise and White bike in the back ground? Nice looking bike too. Thanks. Razin.

@razinhellcustomz The donor bike was a out $50 if I remember correctly. The 2 speed kick back I traded for with a set of new old stock schwinn pedals. Got a smokin deal on the sandblast and powdercoat job, the guy only charged me $100 total. Only other things i purchased where small items, spokes, a new chain, fenders off Ebay, and decals, seat and grips. So the build was actually done on the cheap and over a period of time. I used the tires off the donor and I had the rear rack.
The bike you are seeing in the background is a friends bike that I am going through for him. I have a thread on it on this forum. It has been determined to be a 1956 cwc amf firestone. Very cool old bike that he wont sell me, lol.

I don't blame him for not wanting to sell it either. I have several Roadmaster bikes in my collection too including a 58 standard o.g. paint bike i built, A 60's Shark bike that i purchased in the spring that is quite rare, Several Skyrider bikes and my favorite is my 1960 jet pilot that is a true survivor bike. Thanks for the details. Ride On. Razin.
