Since I have a yard full of cool parts , I think why not shed the cabin fever and join in the Winter build off ! I have no plan at all as what might come out of the pile yet , maybe another Iver ??? As you can see I have plenty of frame choices so here we go!:cool2::cool2:

Done watchin' you guys and gal having all the fun. So here's my starting point , a 50s Goodrich badged Schwinn straight bar out of the junk pile. I have this pair of Kenda Nevigal 26x2.34 tires that have been gathering dust for a few years so might as well use them up. An ACS double clamp...

A 2 day quicky build for the finish line and not quite what I envisioned for this bike yet its a good rider and somewhat cool !:cool2: after before Half moon , was I at the right out house ? First ride for the bike since the 50s and right at 10 bucks spent to build it for primer and sand...
