Heres the Speedy Cycle I just collected in NZ, around 1910. Currently has a coaster rear hub until the fixed hub is repaired. Rides well but a bit scarey down on the drops...🤪

Thats an awesome looking bike, just the right look with the patina and vintage looking tyres 😁

You should check out the rat rod bike forums. Nice mix of restored vintage bikes, custom bikes made to look like vintage bikes, and custom board trackers and beach cruisers too.
