So this is what I was able to piece together. A Black 1978 26" Schwinn Spitfire. Messenger seat, and suburban handle bars for looks not comfort. New wheels, hubs, tubes, chain, and tires. I cleaned and greased all the bearings. Rides super rigid but looks fresh to death.
Shortly after …I felt it still looked too OEM, so I went back to the drawing board. Making this possible.
Since the last photo, I switched to Pixie Apes, these bars are so rad.
Oh yeah... bobbed fenders and vintage reflectors too
You better ask somebody!
