Your bike is by far my favorite of all time...everything is just right! WOW! :mrgreen: Dont get me wrong there are a lot of cool bikes on here but yours just has everything and "the Look" that to me...is perfect! Awesome man! Can I ask...
Found this one at a local flea market sans wheels and seat...stuck one of my favorite Bell seats on it...and some Huffy Cranbrook rims and stem/bars to mock it up. Im thinking Ill play some more with it...but a nice bike...love the twin bars on top...I like!

Ok...finally got around to taking another couple of pics. Rode my bike about 2 miles today and it rides great! The springer fork seems to absorb the bumps rather well. Had to re adjust the rear fender a tad...but other than that...its ALIVE! 8) It doesnt look like it in the pic but Ive done...
HI guys. Just realized today after church...that my bike has a 3 speed hub! Ive never ridden it till today and was tooling around in my back yard to see if it was going to fall apart...and presto...gear change! I love it! I never had one like it before...are the hubs rare? Mine has 3 bands on it...
Well I finally got some more time to mess with my Schwinn this evening. Put a different seat on...still waiting on my ebay lay-back post...and greased all the bearings...put the forks on and tightened it all up...put on my new chain...and new front fender im still not to sure i like. See the...
Well...to be honest...all the stays brackets etc are really nice on my bike. Ive been riding it quite a bit lately and it rides great. Im right at 6 ft...it does good in all except tight tunrs and then my legs/knees do feel crowded. I havent touched it since my pic...but im gonna tear into it...
