Hello everyone Im a 31 year old "Kid" from Los Angeles that till recently got the Schwinn bug again. It started when I was 10 Years old, I picked up a couple of Schwinn sting ray frames and made Lowrider bikes out of them..yes I know..lol.. but any how that came to an end when I purchased my first car at 15.. Bikes?! who needs bikes when you're a teen with a car.
Recently my girlfriend asked if Id like to join her for a bicycle ride, her oldest son has a beat up old cheap beach cruiser she said I could use, so I agreed. I hadn't rode a bike in 16 years and quickly found out how out of shape I was
haha all and all I had a great time, Im having fun, and it sparked my Schwinn bug. 2 months later i have 3 complete bikes that I pieced together, The Typhoon and another Schwinn frame beggin for parts...guess I got it bad this is my collection so far and they are all still a work in progress...
1980 Schwinn..bought it as a frame only repainted, bought and rechromed alot of original parts, and settled for a few chinese parts but hoping to replace with vintage parts eventually :wink:
1979 Schwinn...My other Cruiser...this one is currently taken apart and out for sand blasting.. all the Original parts have been rechromed and Im just waiting to get it back and paint it.
1979 Schwinn...not sure what Im goint to do with this one yet..most likely repaint and rechrome and keep it as a cool simple beach cruiser..
1964 Schwinn Typhoon...This one is my favorite and just picked it up.. I added the truss rods and flipped the bars cause Im digging the look.. I do have an Original set of S7 wheels for it but need to be repaired...
Im loving this site, thanks for letting me share and thanks for looking!
