Me too..lol I found it while on patrol last night, couple were cleaning out their garage and having a cookout, I being the public servant I am offered to help get rid of the bike They too had no lcue as of the history But it will give me something to do while I work the Hospital.

Oh, and the seat post mast right where the clamp is, is bent But other than that, she seems fine, I just found it last night and havent had time really look her over. She should clean up alright..

I'am a Rams fan but,, Those bars are a little extreme!!! LOL!

Interesting find! A looptail, bananna seat rams horn bike......

If the bars have a Schwinn or Wald stamp on them, then the bars alone would a find.

They look like they may have an extra bend in them though from the original Schwinn Rams Horns.....???

Riding a bike like that in my neighborhood would have been a good way to get beat up.


Cool score, though.

I cant find anything on the NET about it.. What I do find is stuff on a Oscar Hedstrom who was into Motorcycles, and another place for Kids Toys.

Found a few Vintage things on Ebay, but mostly baby strollers, and one Vintage Tricycle.

Im dyin here.

Merle, those wheels look tiny are they 16's? Also the seat DOES look rather big, Maybe it was stolen from the fat lady in the circus? I'll call my sister and see if her bike is missing???

It's like one of those fish from the very bottom of the ocean. It's definitely a fish, but also very scary looking.

Looks like someone put a cool seat and even cooler set of bars on a cheap department store BMX.

That this would be sweet w/ a laid back seatpost, some regular bars and some Tuff's
Gtrider87
did department store brands used to make looptails??

Baaaa...Baaaaa...

That thing is just too much. Off-the-deep-end too much. But regardless of that, for reasons unbeknownst to me, I wanna ride it.
Moosegoose Nick
I bet you could wheelie that thing easily...Hey Merle, try it and post some pics..
M.Curphy
Ive been thinking about that Wheelie idea!! But I currently have a broken right hand and that will have to wait. Im gonna try to clean her up before this fridays local race so the kids can ride it. She needs a going thru thats for sure. And new tires and tubes.
