Reader's Bike Pix!

Continuing on our nostalgia kick, This site collects reader's pictures of their customized and restored "chopper" bicycles. Lot's of great snaps of Apple Crates, Lemon Peelers, and the like.

I still remember my first stingray, made by my Dad in the basement. Although I had the run of the house, he somehow managed to keep me away from that thing as he built it, so it was a surprise on Christmas morning. It had a metallic silver banana seat and classic ape-hanger handlebars. I never had a padded sissy bar, which was probably just as well, the way we used to ride through the woods playing "bicycle tag" on those things.

Too much fun.
