my first bike build

[kyle moody]

I picked up a 1953 26inch schwinn hornet. The bike was in pretty good condition but I wanted to put my twist on thing so I obviously got my influence from stripped and teased. I built this bike in memory of my late uncle Freddie Marlowe, and I named it "Fenderless Freddie." He loved fenderless hotrods and candy apple red was his favorite color. Enjoy the pics!
