QUOTE(East coaster @ Jan 16 2025, 06:13 AM)  And who remembers these? I had one when I was a kid so I built this one and ride it now in my 60’s…….never grow up! I had a Western Auto knockoff of those bikes in green. I remember taking steel tubing and bolting it to the front forks to make my bike a chopper like the guys in the movie easy rider. I got a hard lesson when the cheap, thin tubing buckled and the front end collapsed. |
