Even though i'm only 37 I really like the bikes of the depression and WW2 era, it was just a special time, may be due in part to my grandfather on my mothers side who was in WW2 that told me so many interesting stories.
The bicycle is the most civilized conveyance known to man. Other forms of transport grow daily more nightmarish. Only the bicycle remains pure in heart. ~Iris Murdoch, The Red and the Green
Here is a few pics,. ..
My 38 Arnold Schwinn when I built it.


Here's my 38 Colson I made into a 70's style California Cruiser


When I see an adult on a bicycle, I do not despair for the future of the human race. ~H.G. Wells

The bicycle, the bicycle surely, should always be the vehicle of novelists and poets. ~Christopher Morley

When I go biking, I repeat a mantra of the day's sensations: bright sun, blue sky, warm breeze, blue jay's call, ice melting and so on. This helps me transcend the traffic, ignore the clamorings of work, leave all the mind theaters behind and focus on nature instead. I still must abide by the rules of the road, of biking, of gravity. But I am mentally far away from civilization. The world is breaking someone else's heart. ~Diane Ackerman
