Love the BMX hybrid thingy! What is it? More info please.

This is my Schwinn Ripper. 🤣🤣 Santa hooked up with some S&M 12 Step bars. They're huge! Makes the 9.5" bars on my Heavy Duti look small. It's such a pleasure to ride this bike. I had 6" bars on it, but didn't like leaning over so much. Sitting upright now. I ditched the front brakes. I'm...

Dino Jelusick. This lad can just flat out sing. My favorite rock singer.

The same thing happened to me with my 14 year old son (now 16) and my 26" SE OM Flyer. I put 9.5" rise bars on it and he thought that it was the best thing since sliced bread. I haven't ridden it since.

So do I leave the stock fork on , or swap it for a straight bmx fork? If so, black or chrome?

I found these. I had no idea they made 12" bars. That would definitely raise me up a bit and get me sitting more upright. https://www.danscomp.com/s-m-12-step-bars-flat-black-12-rise-20-12-step-blk/p1489358?v=1489359

I had these SE 6" rise bars and a Black Ops BMX stem laying around so I figured why not. I'm a Klunker kind of a guy. I ordered some new grips, ditched the twist shifter for a thumb shifter, and wallah! Klunker! The thumb shifter goes thru all 7 gears surprisingly smooth. I feel like I'm...

Thank you sir. The effort is most appreciated!

I've thought about just buying some used SE 29" rims (found a set locally for $100), 700x38 tires and a chain to swap onto my Schwinn Heavy Duti when I feel like it, instead of building a complete bike as funds will be limited until November. After measuring, I'll have enough room for the 29s.

I was actually thinking more of a cantilever cruiser frame. I'm going for the big bmx cruiser look with 700c or 29er wheels and tires. I like 700c x 38 size tires.

My next bike project will be a 700c cruiser. I want to use an old Schwinn frame. Are there certain frames that will accommodate 700c wheels and tires better than others?

Does this need a primer?

What color yellow would you call this and where can I find the same color to repaint the frame?

Good looking bike! I dig the bars.
