1949 Schwinn BoardTrack

Nearly finished now, just waiting on the headlight, chain, and different crank arms (these hit the frame). Seatpost is getting dropped a well, but it needs a little love and the baby was sleeping

My buddy made the wood grips for me as I used a 23.8 road type bar and couldn't find any to save my life. Going to have him make a set of matching wood pedal blocks to tie it all together. Then a little pin-striping and she'll be wrapped up!

Mocked up a front fender I had laying around. A little trimming/notching and some hardware and this should do nicely. I think it helps to balance the bike a bit as all the black was on the front.

Just about wrapped up!
