Re: Schwinn bikes ( post pics here )Here is my $5 dollar road bike that I've been working on. A Varsity I think.??? But anyway I have completely torn it apart and repainted it and converted to a single speed. All it needs now is a chain, tubes and tires, bar wrap and put the origenal seat back on..I hope you like it and enjoy.
I wish I had taken before pictures but this is where its at now. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() There are no RULES.!!!
Re: Schwinn bikes ( post pics here )my 1959 Speedster...."WRATRACKER"
Re: Schwinn bikes ( post pics here )My customized 2007 BFK (Black Friday Krate): 7-speed Shimano Nexus hub laced to the original hoop w/rapid fire shifter; early 70’s Puch moped drum brake laced to an aluminum hoop w/parking brake cable; duel LED headlights; LED tail light; H-D tool bag; sissy bar; black dice valve caps; OCC Stingray black acorn axle nuts front and rear; triple horn.
The installation of the Nexus hub required “Cold Bending” the seat and chain stays using the carjack off of a 2001 Ford Focus. The separation took several days, expanding the distance ~5-8-millimeters per day, at the end, a full twist for standing clearance in order to install the rear wheel, bolted her up and she worked a charm. Cabling was all straight forward. I hope you like her: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Rat Rodding, is, if anything, the passionate act of creating something functional from an ostensible pile of rubble.
