What bike did you ride today?

[Schwinn1776]

Thanks @Sven ! I've been having fun with it! I was really surprised how well it rides in that configuration. Had a few flashbacks to my youth when I stood up for hills or fast starts. Got some good feedback while I was out. One woman said "That's the coolest bike I've ever seen!" (I blushed, said thank you and thought maybe she doesn't get out much...)

Luckily she didn't see when I had to hop a curb while flying down a hill to avoid a collision with an auto. The tank popped off since it is only being held with disposable shop rags rolled up and wedged onto the too bar, the bars could have been clamped a but tighter and moved a little.....

Flew across the intersection off the curb with one hand on the bar & the other trying to catch the tank with help from my knees. Good times!!

That's awesome Brother coming along nicely!

Thanks Seth!! Should look good in a couple of different configurations when I'm done.

I have to say, I do like the Apes on this one!

She was coming on to you. Wants to "pack" , you know be your "scooter luggage"

I agree! Thought they would be ridiculous but like the look & very comfortable. Gives the bike a RatFink groove...

I have considered trying a king/queen (is that what they're called?)motorcycle seat on it if I found a smaller one that may be closer to scale....

The '28 Colson on another fine day in the PNW. The Riverwalk was mostly deserted, except near the outdoor heaters at Buoy Brewing. The second pic is at the Maritime Park wall of lost seafarers and fisherfolk. The third is a big boat. Not mine.

never knew CCM made a delivery bike in 1935 ...... cool
for some reason, I taught that 1936 was the first year, but searching online, found a couple pre-1936 bikes
