This one was/is my favorite.
Looks so neglected now.
Consider this a before pic. Will post after/current pics of the 4 I presently have.
Lotta work to do.
Hello all,
I haven't been here since 2013 when I lived in Columbus, Ohio.
I now live back in Los Angeles.
My bikes were left outside for 8 years in Ohio and I recently had them shipped here.
Let's just say I have my work cut out for me getting them back in good condition.
Pics soon.
Best to all
@bender, Yeah it looks like it took some real work but, it was as simple as removing the chainguard ring from the Varsity chainring then it just goes on as any regular chainring with plenty of clearance.

Best to all of you
Hello all,
I actually registered here in '08 :oops:
Finally getting around the whole "purist" frame of building bikes and decided to look around here and now that I'm mostly cured of my Schwinnsanity, seeing so many cool bikes here is allowing me to express my build ideas without much guilt...
