| Here are my bicycles but you can put yours in this thread if you have one too. My Christine bicycle , I wish I knew someone close enough to paint it for my because I don't think I can do it right.   Sears Spaceliner frame, fork & chainguard that I think I want to sell it sometime soon because it maybe too much for me since it might need to be re-chromed.  Sears Spaceliner, my other one that I am trying to get it back to close as it originally was brand new as I can afford to.  Murray Santa Cruz & a Western Flyer from the last decade of Western Auto being a big chain of stores but there are a few independent stores still in operation in the US.    I will put some more of my bicycles on later. _________________  |

| Nice bikes. Wish I was closer so I could give you a hand with the paint for Christine. I'm looking forward to seeing this bike finished. Should be great! _________________ Christina The Kind Shield Maiden of The CCC |

| Very nice Matt, I remember a lot of my Bikes , Man I wrode them a lot of miles. I remember when I was about 12 or so we would go swimming at a place called brush creek. It was about three miles down there and it was about 1/3 way a steep hill going down, That was fun but coming back uo wasn't that much fun, we had to get off and push them most of the ways. But when we got down there we would just ride our bikes and ourselves in the water. Crazy bunch of Idiots. _________________ SIR ROBERT THE WISE 1ST KNIGHT OF THE C.C.C.   |

| Was it any of these Rollfast Bicycles. http://www.google.com/search?um=1&hl=en&rlz=1G1ACAW_ENUS451&tbm=isch&q=rollfast+bicycle&revid=1220147948&sa=X&ei=8STFToGcDYqU0QH01vjmDg&ved=0CD0Q1QIoAA&biw=1366&bih=644 That's why Girls/Ladies bikes are the ones that are usually found in brand new condition. _________________  |

|  I talk to everyone. I like these bikes which are very very light so even a chimp can feel like Superman picking up a big truck. This one has 29 x 2.125 inch balloon tires. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Genesis-Onyx-29-Cruiser-Bicycle/16203481 http://www.walmart.com/ip/Kent-La-Jolla-26-Men-s-Cruiser-Bike/17206784?findingMethod=rr This one has 700c tires. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Thruster-700c-Men-s-Fixie-Bike/17206771 _________________  |

Too bad you still don't have your bike, Schwinn serial numbers are easy to decode the year since Schwinn kept good records of them. _________________  |

| My one and only bike was a Roadmaster. I think by AMF. I rode it from age eight on into my late teens. It was a real plain Jane. |

| Very cool bikes, I've restored a VERY old bike once with my dad. I think it was from the 50s or even older. My dad "got rid of it" because we didn't have space to keep it.

| Yes they have, it costs good money to do it too especially when they are a few things that were not on the bike originally.
You need a Schwinn DX to start then doo all that other stuff.
No pics at one site of them since you have to join to see them but the other you can and here is the link but some pics show and some don't, it's a different Matt and he sold it awhile ago.
