Hello and good day

I am a retired autoworker/welder who enjoys bicycles. I have owned many over the years, in fact, collected bicycles to fix back up to like new where needed or just cleaned up. My oldest bicycles were from 1936, an Elgin Blackhawk and a Mercury Pod Bike. I got out of that but still enjoy the vintage classics. I currently own a 1965 Murray Wildcat, a 2012 Huffy Cranbrook which I motorized, haven't ridden it yet but very soon, we'll see how that goes. And I am putting together a vintage 60's bicycle, unknown, and motorizing it as well. I'm motorizing them in case I can't finish pedaling myself home. The Huffy has been embellished with vintage parts and vintage repro parts to give it a good 50's look. Velomobiles have caught my interest, kind of cool, very interesting. Well, that's it for now, don't want to write a novel here. To all, have a nice day.

Hi skip, I have recently been buying old MTB's from the 90's to fix up like new, I've done one so far, I find it very rewarding. Welcome to the forum.
