    1960 Schwinn Tiger (my first save)

    The wheels were so rusty I had to cut the spokes out. Westwoods had to hit the trash unfortunately. Bearings and races were in great shape. Went to my LBS for spoke calculation because it was WAY over my head lol! Cut some new spokes and built my first wheel! Now to try to true it lol!

    1960 Schwinn Tiger (my first save)

    I'm going to have to try it. It will be garage kept but not climate controlled. I live in Indiana. I'm a fair weather rider though so hopefully it will last. Thanks for the info!

    So far so good! From what I have read it will remove the rust but it can come back. How is the turtle wax on keeping it away?

    Thanks B607! Good idea, I will leave all of those things on there. I may have to replace the handlebars though. They are so rusty the chrome is falling off. I do like their style though. I am going to relace the wheels since there was some broken spokes and I would like to retain the original...

    Thanks guys! I think the handlebars are pretty much shot, as are the spokes but hopefully everything else will clean up. I was wondering about the seat. Most of the pics I see have the monogram seat. What the bomber seat standard and monogram seat an option?
