Still needs chainguard graphics, headbadge, seat post and kick stand but its so cool to have it done! Seat post! Coaster brake lever clamp:

First pics of it (mostly) assembled!

We've got color! SO excited to assemble this thing for the last time!!

Beautiful! I have an ex-three speed Renegade, now a 10-speed.

Ohh that S10!!

Ok ok I took a month off for vacation, work trips and actual bike riding. Finally took the time to sand the original paint, body-filler the tube joints and get some automotive primer on the frame. Its still a little cool in the garage so I'll let the primer dry for a few days before laying on...

Gorgeous color choice!

The seat is off the the upholstery guy this weekend. Its the supposedly rare smooth white Stingray seat, but the vinyl is cracking to pieces so I figure its not big loss to the eBay price gougers. I'm having the seat done in white, and picking up some sparkly white Schwinn grips over the...

Its not much of a build, but I've had it for years and its gone through a few changes, plus I was clever enough to take pictures along the way. I found it probably 15 years ago at an automotive swap meet in St. Paul for $75. I was awe struck at coming across a Fastback, even if I did doubt the...

Had the bikes out today. Man it was good to remember the simple joy of riding around the block and up and down the driveway! Here's the Hollywood next to my Fastback for size and shape reference. They're both lots of fun to ride. I dug up a real Stingray seat; can't beat these for size and...

The stock fork is awesome. This whole thing is awesome.

I recently rediscovered my Fastback (blue '75 single speed/coaster) so I have really enjoyed your thread!!

Sorry about the lack of updates - I got distracted with my blue Fastback; I liked the idea of owning it but never liked riding it. I finally sat down and thought about what I didn't like, and the first change on the list was changing the 20" crank to a 24". I adjusted the seat, put on a OG tire...

Wow thanks everyone!

Wow I'm diggin' this for sure.

I just might!!

Tonight I got a wild hair and wanted to try a new (to me) idea and eliminate the paint-scratching seat post clamp. it goes hand in hand with the coaster-brake lever bracket, yes adjustable but dang is it hard on the paint!

I tweaked the chainguard to better follow the chainring.

Get outta here. That'd be awesome. I was having a hard time believing that Photobucket was still the only way to do it these days. :)| Thanks everyone for the kind words!
