I just picked up this Custom '51 Schwinn Straight Bar from a friend last night. The only thing I can take credit for is the pretty shine. This thing is loaded with sweet vintage parts - vintage Sturmey Archer Drum Brake, Drop Center rims, NOS Skiptooth Chain, NOS Dogleg Crank, French IDEALE Saddle, Horn Tank, actual Schwinn Typhoon Cords, etc. It rides so nice. Took it to Starbucks this morning.

Dang that is a beauty of a bike!!!!
 
So I did good, huh? I don't plan on changing much of anything right away. I'll eventually add some personal touches - maybe a Jerald blackwall slick and some custom paint/pinstriping.
