Spring build

[Rollin Double Sixes]

Hi guys. My sister wanted a bike so i told her I would help build her one, but only if she did most of the sanding hahaha. It's a Schwinn Hollywood frame. We got to work sanding it and she picked out the colour scheme. We also got some shiny new Kenda whitewalls for it. We were able to get most of the sanding done today.

Those are some dusty hands.

Hahahahha! I would do the same thing if my sister wants a bike made. I can't wait to see what it's going to look like.

Is that a Spider tattooed on her arm?

 

[Rollin Double Sixes]

I think it is a dragonfly but I can't remember, I will get a pic' of it next week when she is here sanding again.

 

[66olds98]

I have a Spider-web and a grasshopper...

I got some primer on the fork a few days ago.

 

[66olds98]

Whats the color scheme gonna be!!!?

 

[Rollin Double Sixes]

Haha you will have to wait and see! My sister was supposed to come over today to do more sanding but she didn't show up. Maybe she thinks it will build it's self.

 

[66olds98]

Eh, She's probably over it now... Ha!

 

[Rollin Double Sixes]

Yeah probably, 'cause sanding is one of the worst parts of building a bike. I will most likely get bored and finish the sanding myself.

 

[sensor]

just give her a call first and let her know if you sand it you keep it :lol:
she might be ready for more sanding

 

[Rollin Double Sixes]

I think I will call her, at least to let her know when her bike was born. I just checked the serial number and it was made on June 10th 1965. That is one thing I love about old Schwinn's, finding the date they were manufactured on.

Got bored so I finished sanding and got the first coat of primer on. I would have done a second coat but I am out of primer and out of money. I spent the morning at the bank getting a loan to pay for an ultra expensive plumbing problem. Looks like the build may be on hold unless she can flow me some paint funds. :|

Plumbing

Priming

Yikes! That is a plumbing problem. I'm afraid thats going to be me in the next couple of years. My house is over 150 years old and the water and sewer lines coming into it are close to 50 years old. Since we moved in 6 years ago we have replaced part of the plumbing and the electrical but not all of it.

did the plumbing thing 2 years ago, pipe disconnected from the main line, the plumber was in the hole at lunch time as the high school kids passed by at lunch time, he was over knee deep in grey water and told the kids "this is why you stay in school !!", kinda funny tho cause he made a bunch off that job, but i wouldnt want to trade places when it comes down to it :?

Hey how deep is that hole? Did you close off the area? Where is your ladder for entrance/exit? Lol just kidding.. I am (or was) a Safety Rep for DEP contruction sites..
