Military bicycle and more.
« on: November 15, 2021, 11:31:16 am »
Made this military bicycle with a fake M1 Garand mounted.



I kinda got into fixing up some old bikes and making a couple real old models.

All ready to patrol the perimeter there  ;) 
A few years ago, the old foldable parachute bicycles had a big revival over here.

Just noticed, cool stuff Lenn...

First impression is that i love the brake on the 3rd, and even more the saddle on the 5th, :D

Thanks Jan, those were called spoon brakes they work kinda.
I also like the red one with the bags, sad thing is i can`t ride any of them can`t get on with the bad hip but fun fixing them up.  :)

Wow, Lenn...!!!

All the bikes are cool.

I am guessing you fabricated the direct lever brakes.

Great work!
