i really dont know what direction to go with it yet, first i gotta find some parts.

Mine started off as a bmx as well, I turned it into a "stingray"

Mines a 59

Stripped the blue off to find another layer of red over the original red. Also found a correct large schwinn badge for it

Springer and rear slik came off a walmart stingray
