Rust2Rods Schwinn VW Tribute Bike

[The Renaissance Man]

I like this saddle and bars set up!

Well the rest of the parts came in, I did the final assembly. New chain, pedals, got the seat installed, shortened the chain by 4 links and took it for a ride shortly after shooting the photos. Did a quick 5 mile trip to the Lake Michigan Beach near my home through a county park called Grant Park (killer hills though) The gearing is a little tall for the hills, but it moves well. Rides really smooth.... So here are the final shots. I am going to call it finished....

Your VW is amazing, so's the bike for that matter! What are the hubcaps that you are using on your VW, not the original ones but the ones that look like smoothies?

Thanks!

The ones on the Green Pan are indeed VW logo'ed smoothies. Just Early style. They look different than the late style.

Hmmmm ok. I have a 74 Super Beetle and want to put smoothies on it.
