The Coop-ster (Its rolling)

[dragnusa]

I'm in with my BF Goodrich schwinn. Came up with the name from the bikes known history, it was dug out of an old chicken coop and taken to a small animal (chicken) auction to be sold and the auctioneer couldn't get any bids so he bought it and a couple other bikes and brought them to me. And I couldn't start taking the bike apart today because I'm in the middle of building a chicken coop at our house. My plans so far are just to build a hotrod inspired cruiser.

Good luck! I am also building a chicken coop. Finally brought it out of the garage last week to free room up for the bike build. You should post a pic of the coop too.

Egg sighting build.

Do you know why chicken coop's only have 2 doors? If they had 4 doors it would be a chicken sedan! There's your egg! Back to building... BIKES!

Lets quit clucking around and get to work.

Started stripping the house paint off and found a little bit if striping on the down tube.

Started stripping some of the paint.


Hit some of chrome with the wire wheel. Kind of like the brushed look.

Love the bike. Lots of potential there for sure. I really like that sprocket.

Started breaking down the fork and what I was hoping would be a simple cut realign and reweld ain't happening. Not sure where to go from here.

Can you slide a piece of pipe over the end and just slowly bend till they match?
