So officially starting this build. Nexus 4 wheelset

Ok I think I have a direction for this build... Frame and fork I'll be using this Schwinn cantilever frame and straight leg fork I'll be painting it gold, laying on my paint masks, Then painting black. So black with gold frame darts. Then... Then add the 4 speed Nexus wheel set from this...

Still can't believe the before and after on this bike. And to think it's only been 5 months since I got it.

Also found these tires I might use as fronts for the slicks I just got.

Well got poking around my unit and found these wheels I forgot I had. Came off a Walmart whatever cruiser but the color is a dead ringer to my girl's Roadmaster that I picked up. I've got tires, I've got tubes, I've got chain, I've got a crank I can use, I have everything but a fork.

Nice finds! What's your method of fork bending? I have one I need to straighten.

Just a fat man on a fat bike.

New tires on the Thrasher and Mini Twinn

Front vs. Rear closeup. The rear is kinda skinny for a 2.125 tire but still awesome and exactly what this bike needed. Front is a 1.95 for reference which is actually a hair fatter. I'll get some better pics tomorrow morning but dang she looks good. I do have some vintage skinny whitewalls I...

Got my tires... These for the back... And these for the front

lol

I did the faux skiptooth in a bike known as the bootlegger back about a decade ago and it worked flawlessly.

Today's find came to me. A friend and fellow bike guy messaged me and said he just got this old Schwinn Predator if I was interested in it. Not in bad shape and came with some cool parts so I gave him $50 for it. These bars I don't think are original but I like them and they will work till...

Another build in the planning stage. Going to build a Klunker using this blue Schwinn cantilever frame and straight fork. (On the floor in the front with the wide bars and cup holder) Was thinking about different color schemes and want to build something true to the time period klunkers were...

Before After Before After Before After Before (not my photo but similar to what I started with) After

Found a better use for those wide white tires...

Still need to install grips and bolt on the chain guard and fenders but it's looking like a bike. Also for those wondering the chain guard from a regular Twinn will NOT fit a Mini Twinn. You must drill out the rivet on the rear bracket, pop the spot welds, and cut about 2 inches out and put it...

Let's make all the OCD guys cringe...lol
