There's been a couple of users who are having difficulty with text entry on the forum. Don't let it get you down, looks like you have some good stuff to share. We have been seeing plenty of old bikes getting the threadless updates. Perhaps you could try typing the text in notepad and copying/pasting it here...
I bought one off eBay a while ago. Works perfectly! If you are the seller, thank you!
Hey @scott1race , why don't you post a pick of your green Schwinn with the Christmas ornaments hanging from the top tube. I think folks here would dig it.....matthew
Hi Scott,
This bike looks great! Just wondering how you added the rear disc. Is it a bolt on adapter?
Thanks. Yes, it is a simple bolt on adapter. I mounted it on the outside of my rear dropout because my rear triangle is already spread slightly to 135mm to fit a Paul MTB singlespeed rear hub. I know I should just weld it on there, but I have used it for more than 6000 miles now without any problem.
Hey, Scott, got any more pics of your disc brake/rear dropout assembly ?
The second image shows a stainless hose clamp, which I was using when I rode this bike off-road more often. I haven’t used the clamp for 4 years now. My girlfriend and I just rode these bikes 27 miles yesterday, she gets the green bike because it’s lighter and faster 
Green bike was first built in May of 1958, just like me.

Now this is what I have been searching for: looks sturdy enough. Do you remember the brand or where you got it?
Need a couple of these for sure. They look great.
I will post an eBay link, if that is permitted. This is NOT my auction, and is just an example. https://www.ebay.com/itm/2354645028...rand=Unbranded&_trksid=p4481478.c101506.m1851
