Wow. That paint looks deep enough to fall into, and the pinstriping is wicked!

Thanks for the kind words guys. She loved it, only thing left is sourcing parts for the kickstand and anchoring the shift cable on the Nexus, overall it was a fun build, now to finish my Dyno so I can modify my Basman and my Electra Sparker!

The bike looks great. A tip on the kickstand-Try getting the cam/spring/pin ect... from an older Schwinn kickstand,should be the same set-up. I have taken the kickstand and all of the parts and put it in a Dyno Kustom Kruiser.

I would think that any 26" Schwinn should work (that's what I used). They are usually around 11 inches. I would measure from your kickstand sleeve down to the ground while the bike is at a comfortable lean just to make sure. Depending on your bike you might end up getting one off of another Schwinn.Also you will need a spring depressing tool to remove and install the kickstand.Hope this helps you out.
