One of my Dads bikes... Photo from about 1965 or so.
This chopper had a small 'cube' passenger seat on the rear fender that was little more than a vinyl covered block of foam about the size of a brick. I burned my leg on that exhaust pipe if I didnt keep my knee out in traffic! At least I could lean back on the 'sissy bar' (I was about 6 or 7 at the time).
He had a battery operated string of lights he wrapped around the sissybar with some garland for his 'built in Christmas tree' during the Holidays.
1968 Sears Screamer 1.
i am the second owner.
i purchased this bike as you see it here from a man who had it since he was a kid.
i cant see how he took such good care of it.
i am under the understanding that Columbia made this bike for Sears.
you can usually tell by the chainring.
Most Sears bikes of the time were made by Murray.
even Screamers of other years that i have seen were made by Murray.
the condition you see this bike in now is as i brought it home.
it was pouring out, but i was too excited. i had to get some photos.
it has tall, wide ape hangers, not the interesting Ramshorn bars you see on a lot of these.
i am not sure why. it seemed like an add on option, but it seems to also have all other add on options.
- dual rear brakes, each brake lever on the bars controls one of these.
- console shifter, 5 speed and parking brake. not sure how the parking brake works.
- rat trap front springer fork.
- springer shock sissy bar.
- carlisle slick with no cracks. great shape.
i spent some time cleaning this up.
i am going to put it all back together soon.
if anyone has any more info or knowledge of this bike, i would love to hear it.
durante il giretto inaugurale, i miei 88kg di benessere hanno piegato irrimediabilmente i tubi del banana seat... sigh! :(
'90's(?) Awesome Giant 18 speed that I turned into a cruiser with some parts from one of my old cruisers...
Fenders & wheels/tires are from a '60's Murray, headlight is an old automobile turn indicator, and the handlebars are from the crate in my garage :)
June 1968
Interesting custom muscle bike on the left with its big front wheel.
In 1968, Schwinn did the opposite and introduced the 16" front wheel Stingray Krate.
