Those are some really cool tires, on a really cool little bike. I built up a 20 incher in January, but it's got 1.75's on it.

Here's one I built for my daughter last year, it's a little bit muscle bike, a little bit chopper and a little bit ballooner with full fenders and classic Schwinn paint scheme.

Cool thread idea!

Cheers,

Heres one I did for the 20" buildoff a while back. Rode it in a local Christmas parade this past year. I'm 6'4" and weigh 250 lbs.

I've found the correct fenders and tank for it. Looking for the correct chainguard. It's got a HD New Departure rear end and a HD front hub and the wheels have .120 ga. spokes. It has a 1955 Schwinn serial number.
