Cool bike Hewey! When I was 14 I had a Schwinn I stripped the fenders and stock handlebars off of and added a 18" goose neck and "ape hanger" handlebars, some pinstripe decals and I wuz ridin' in style. I also received my first traffic violation (1st of many) for an equipment violation. Here in California we have a law on the books that decries no handlebars on a two wheeled vehicle shall be so high that the rider must extend his arms above the shoulders to operate said vehicle in a safe manner. Jeesh, I wuz jus' cruizin', not competing in the friggin' Tour de France fer chisakes
