After consulting a neighbor, yesterday, who builds VW dragsters and motorcycles, we determined the 3G Newport steering tube is too large to fit the mentioned springer.. It won't fit on a 3G Newport.. I repeat, it won't fit a 3G Newport.. Boa G tires were not the problem, the steering tube is too...

I'll post some pics of the dilemma tomorrow..

Well, I finally got around to buying that Sunlite springer for my 3G Newport.. Turns out the reason why you don't see any pictures of them is that they don't fit. The tire is hitting the back fork. Just got it in today and was deeply saddened to find this out.. I think the reason it fits Rat...

I haven't seen the bike in person, but I found this on CL. I realize the pic isn't the best.. Im gonna try and go see it today.. I think I can grab it for $200 or less. Is this a real Schwinn 100th Anniversary and/or thoughts about it? And what should I look for on bike to identify a real 100th...

Wow.. She's a beaut....

Awesome.. Thanks for your help, guys!

Hahaha.. Nevermind... I did my math like a good boy and just realized 28.6mm is 1 1/8th.. How tight does the tire fit to the fork? Any trouble with rubbing? Thanks?

Do you happen to know if they come in both 1" and 1 1/8" threadless? I would need the 1 1/8"threadless. I cant seem to find that in the descriptions.. Thanks!

Whoah, Sick bike, man... I love it! Thanks for your response.. Definitely gonna check that fork out... Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
