    Heres a few pictures of my 53 Schwinn that I cruise around on. I originally bought it in the 70's for my son, but he was into bmx.

    Hello, My name is Eddie Wood from East Flat Rock North Carolina and I have been enjoying H.A.M.B. for quite some time. I am impressed with the wealth of knowledge that the people of this site have with regards to all sorts of vehicles. When this world seems so harsh and mean spirited it is nice to know that a site such as this exist where persons from the world over can come together and not just help one another but also entertain and extend a hand to an unseen friend that they may never meet in the flesh. Thank You All For Reminding Me That There Are Good And Kind People Who Freely Share The Gifts That They Possess. If I may, I would like to contribute to this thread. Roughly twenty years ago I found an old wooden wheel bicycle in an old dirt floored barn that was literally falling down. The bicycle is a 1917 HARLEY DAVIDSON Mans Model. The 28 inch wheels were not salvagable and the stock chainring was broken but the frame and all that remained of the bicycle is in very good condition of course it looked like it had been in the covered barn for at least fifty years. Just the other day I removed the bicycle from storage and took a couple of photographs of it. I have no plans for the bike but I think that it is certainly an interesting machine. My bike is the one with no fenders and the "cruiser style" rims that I attached as rollers. I would imagine that this bicycle has not been ridden in at least seventy years, It is sad to think that the original owner is most likely no longer among the living yet his/her bicycle is still as solid as the day it was made and has perhaps another century ahead of it. I hope that you kind people enjoy seeing it. Best Regards, Eddie Wood
