The Wifey Build, 1965 Schwinn Strandie

[Trick]

After building a bike for my son then building one for myself, the wife says: “I want a cool bike now too! I don’t wanna be stuck riding the granny cruiser while you guys are all cool and stuff.”
So I built her this, influenced from a pic I saw somewhere....
1965 Schwinn Frame and crank, 36 tooth Lucky 7 Sprocket, Shimano Nexus 3 speed hub on alloy wheel(s),
Okami saddle, ACS post clamp, Black OPS STEM, Hoder Bars, staytite fork and a set of Chaoyang 26X1.90 rubber.

Nice and clean. I like the 3 speed coaster.

Classic look. Can’t beat that.
Did you warn her about the bear traps? You wouldn’t want to mess up her shins.

Ah yes, plus she’s seen it in action a few weeks back when jacked myself up on my bike[emoji13]

Problem solved. That's a nice one

Flawless! if that was in my garage? My wife would just put her lock on it and lay claim to it period.

Looks good and the lucky 7 on there will give good low gearing for offroad. High gear should be just right for cruising pavement.
