Well I was not going to enter this years build off due to no time nor finding a suitable candidate, then this guy fell into m hands.
I made an offer on this bike for 40 dollars a few weeks ago but one thing led to another things broke people got hurt and money went flying out the window( y'all know the feeling lol) and I was unable to purchase it.
so, I had a 1979 Schwinn collegiate 10 with the ffs system I gave them awhile back but kept the wheels for another project. in time those wheels rusted thru and I ended up tossing them.
being disappointed, he took the bike but was not sure he could use the ffs system. ( front freewheel freewheel is on the crankset not the rear wheel) well I came across ladies bike that was mangled and had th same ffs system, so I took the wheelset off and had planned on giving them to m lbs so he could build the bike up.
I called him to inform him I got the wheels and he informed me the shops owner had stated if I found the wheels he would trade me this bike straight up. not expecting this I decided I would jump on the opportunity to save this bike from an unknown fate.
well here she is as I found her needing lots of work but still cool and I now have a buildoff bike.
plans are to keep it rather simple some fresh paint, fresh blood ,and fresh grease and oil and to remove those godawful hard rubber tires I hate those things lol. I am also going to either build or find a coke wooden crate for the back of the bike. and replace the decals and puta coke seat on it as well.
I have tried many experiments with different ides, and had about a 99 percent fail ratio, so my luck is not so hot so keeping it simple.
a couple ideas i have are to add fan wheels and whitewalls possibly a springer if I can get the budget for it definitely a fresh coat of paint and new decals ad complete teardown which will begin tonight the name comes from treacherous road in Canada called the coquihalla highway ( pronounced cockahaula see how it fits lol)or the coke as it is known a very dangerous stretch of Canada highway 2 and seeing as this bike feels about as dangerous ATM, I feel the name fits but I am sure it will change more updates soon here is my beginning point btw the plastic tank is very nice and not cracked
