It's been a decade since I built up a Schwinn. Though their consistent quality over time is undeniable, they haven't ever been my first choice, aesthetically (aside from a choice few).
I scored a flea market Typhoon for $50, and it will be the base of my Wu Tang inspired build.
For those who are unfamiliar, The Wu Tang Clan is a rap group (posse) that built their sound, image, and ideology off of old kungfu and karate movies. Specifically the Wu Tang Clan and the 36 chambers of Shaolin series.

Bobby Stills is an alter ego of the RZA (the Abbot/leader of Wu Tang Clan). My name, Bobby Stillz, is partially inspired by this.
I've had these Spitfire tires and a chainguard for a while, so I'm going to throw them on the Typhoon base as a tie-in to the theme.
