Thanks for the kind words guys. She loved it, only thing left is sourcing parts for the kickstand and anchoring the shift cable on the Nexus, overall it was a fun build, now to finish my Dyno so I can modify my Basman and my Electra Sparker!
 
The bike looks great. A tip on the kickstand-Try getting the cam/spring/pin ect... from an older Schwinn kickstand,should be the same set-up. I have taken the kickstand and all of the parts and put it in a Dyno Kustom Kruiser.

I would think that any 26" Schwinn should work (that's what I used). They are usually around 11 inches. I would measure from your kickstand sleeve down to the ground while the bike is at a comfortable lean just to make sure. Depending on your bike you might end up getting one off of another Schwinn.Also you will need a spring depressing tool to remove and install the kickstand.Hope this helps you out.

Nice bike!!!
I used to have that bike back in 2001. But someone steal it from me :cry:
One of the best I had, so many good memorys... don´t leave it out of sight! :wink:
 
Thanks for the compliments guys! very close to finishing. Hope to have it done by this weekend.
