Riding a '38 Autocycle Deluxe
Always had 2nd hand Schwinns and did a lot of digging for parts to make dirt bikes & choppers in the mid-late 60's ( back then we found stuff in the orange groves, riverbed, RR tracks, barns & vacant lots! ) and there was my dads 55 Spitfire ( my cousin bought new at Pioneer Schwinn in Norwalk Ca. ) that we terrorized then robbed part off of and left behind garage, well then 2 things happened, mid 70's news footage of Joe Breeze and the Norcal Marin gang racing Klunkers down Mt. Tam started the digging again ( only seemed to bring home frames and skiptooth rims ) to build bikes for the Mt. Wilson downhill here in Socal and a move to HB, cruising the beach trail after surfing and going to Gertrude's PP & Recycled Cycle seeing all that cool stuff I started thinking about all the parts I passed over digging ( tank, springers etc. ) and that started the hunt!. pic is my 3rd used bike ( 1st was a Colson chain drive trike then a 24 in Dx ), I still have the rear rim of that 24 ( cut the frame to make a chopper and my dad thru it away ) and maybe that 64 StingRay frame but that's for a different thread!, I think that used 64 lime StingRay really started it!, Filled my mom’s patio and garage by the mid-80s
