Hello, my name is Jim and I registered with pedalgrinders a few minutes back. My son pointed me to this site. I occasionally read posts at RatRod. I ride a 1947 modified Schwinn cruiser, banana seat, apehangers. I think karfer67 is the technician at College Cyclery who has done work on my bike before. I think I'll hang around the forums occasionally and add something when I'm able.
Keep riding, offbeatjim

Maybe I will join for a ride.
Green bike with apehangers, yep. You described it as having a "patina." Skiplink? Don't think so. You put special wheels on it to hold my weight. You'll recognize it when you see it.

If by "skip links" you meant that you ground down parts on the rear hub to allow for the links on my older chain to grip, yep, that's my bike.

I would toss up a pic of my bike if I knew how. If I was to upload a pic to something like Dropbox, would I be able to post it here?
