This is my latest creation, a '63 Schwinn frame + fork, I got off of fleabay. Handlebars, stem, seat pan, seat post + seat bar off my '68 Schwinn Sting Ray. The wheels are off a free 24'' girls mountain bike I found on garbage day. The knobbies will go bye-bye, and a pair of 2.125 whitewalls will take their place. The rear wheel had been painted semi gloss black, but is chrome underneath, so I will strip it soon. The front sprocket is from my '71 Schwinn Varsity, but I'm putting on a original Lemon Peeler Mag sprocket later today, and new chain, just put on the chain guard, have the Lemon Peeler spoke protector too, a little more chrome. The shifter is just a ten-speed I had, w/ left lever removed, its a 6-speed, am going to make another one from scratch, I guess, because I can't find my Lemon Peeler shifter guts... only the lever itself, why did I take it apart so many years ago? Can't figure out how the derailleur cable got shorter after I rode it! :mrgreen: That's okay, I would like to have (THIS) shifter farther back anyway. Need to cover seat pan and make some brown leather grips (+ leather streamers?) Haven't been able to locate my Lemon Peeler front wheel, I wanted to lace the drum brake up to a 20'' rim, and run a 26'' springer. Who knows? Pretty far from done.................................maybe!
