Rat Fink Schwinn

[Kuttnhack]

CL find all most complete 10 speed road bike. Typical bad tires and tubes and missing some parts. Sitting outside a long time. Pulled all the cables, derailers, shifters, etc. New skins and wheels thanks to Mike S. co/ Vintage Bicycle Supply. Added some old bars and vintage Schwinn grips. Removed the outer chain ring and guard to find a sweet little mag type ring gear. I like the natural patina on this one. Need to carefully shave to cable guides but try not to damage the existing paint and get some Rat Fink grafix. I like the way this handles with the new 26's.

Had nearly the identical set-up, with the seat up to handle bar height and painted black, about 30 years ago. Hit a parked car at speed. :x :roll: Still using the grips and handle bar. :mrgreen:
