So the event went well last week. A great turnout for the van meet. I hung out with some cool dudes and chicks that were all equally impressed by my Schwinn as I was of their vans. Some even mentioned that they too were going to start a beach cruiser build. A little inception happening there. I...

I like how the neck is lifted due to the 2" overs... Hmm (getting ideas)

Will rocking a 26" on the rear throw off the geometry?

Wow! (your avatar) That sled has major rake BOSS! Does it ride? Really dig it... Kuddos!

Very cool. Now I want to build a trike!

This one I put together for the girls. 70's Schwinn Slick Chic. I was lucky to find the frame with the fenders and handle bars (hollywood style). It took some time but I was able to locate all the rest of the parts via the trusty web. Original StingRay banana seat with sissy bar, Score...

This one I scored back in 09' This guy I knew had recently dropped about $800 on a fixed gear, and I asked "what are you going to do with the GT?" His reply was " uh... I don't know! ...sell it?" so my next question was "how much you want for it?" no joking he said "well I paid $100 for back...

I'm 35 yrs old, and I chose to build a vintage bike simply because, no one is building them how I like it. I could have saved a ton of money settling for less, but I couldn't resist the urge to have what I own today. The cost of the build was more than I care to admit, plus the hours I put in...

Thanks, bud!..

Thanks, Brunson

When is the next ride?

I see... I didn't feel like spending $300 on Schwinn wheels, so I'm rolling on cheap swap meet wheels and tires. There's a BMX cruiser in my toy collection, 24" GT Robinson. I'll bring it out for a ride and snap some pics. Share with you soon.

Any luck with the mod? I was thinking and I'm sure it came to you as well... once the axle is relocated, you'll need a longer chain.

Right on!

Thanks, I'm totally stoked.

I have two ideas that may provide a solution to your dilemma. First idea is simple, switch the fork with a 26" fork. Next idea will require some custom metal fab work. Axle displacement brackets... and a fender mounting bracket. Hope this bit of information helps. -RATSCHWINN

1978 Schwinn Spitfire

So this is what I was able to piece together. A Black 1978 26" Schwinn Spitfire. Messenger seat, and suburban handle bars for looks not comfort. New wheels, hubs, tubes, chain, and tires. I cleaned and greased all the bearings. Rides super rigid but looks fresh to death. Shortly after …I...
