Great!!! I'll move the Blue SS over here! Rat Rod, you are welcome to delete it out of the Bike Gallery if you want to? To back up a bit, here was the Blue SS when I found it.
It was just about too far gone and had parts missing. But it was worthy of rescue from the schredder. After several hours of scrubbing, that thick blue paint Schwinn originaly put on came through like a champ.
The original blue paint really stood out. It's still got some bad nicks in it, but it's good enough for the Rat Kingdom. So I decided to add to the blue theme with matching wheels. It's not going to be a fixie or have any alterations to the frame. I'm leaving it alone as is. It will have a Bendix Multispeed two speed manual hub on the rear. I've always had a thing for fat hubs on a bicycle. Thanks!!!
