Re: 24" 1951 Schwinn American turned Muscle Bike!! PICS ADDED!
Cool bike! Got a spare frame in the shed that I didn't have a destinations for yet and I'm thinking of building something like this now :mrgreen:
I dug up this topic and am wondering how the bike looks right now. Did you get rid of the rust? Just want to say you're riding one of my dream bikes. I've got one of them already: the black 1995 Coaster and now I'm looking for a red brother/sister for it :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
I didn't know the color was a House of Kolor paint :idea: Your picture doesn't show very clearly but I've had three Tiki's and all of them had a black-ish fade on the edges of the fenders. Is that in the original House of Kolor green or was that airbrushed afterwards?

That's a common failure on Kronan bikes :idea: At least on the newer ones Kronan produced themselves.
I've seen rims crack on Kronans many times (they're made of very bad quality steel and weren't coated or sealed properly against rust) but never seen them crack like this while riding. Also...
