    Help with my threads/posts

    It's a pain for sure, every picture I post rotates for some reason. I found the only way to get the pictures to display correctly is I need to actually edit/rotate them in my album on my phone 360 degrees, yes, back to what they are already, then they load on the post correctly!

    Thanks Dizzle, it rides really nice, I ordered some tubing to make a layback seat post, but that will need to wait. We are going camping next weekend, so all the cruisers are going on a road trip!

    1980 Schwinn Cruiser Build

    I think it's done for now, might end up with a few gold anodized bits and some gold Ukais later. Swapped out to Tange forks. Put a newer seat on for now, messenger needs some work.

    1980 Schwinn Cruiser Build

    A few pics of where it's at right now. I still need to put on the KKT chrome rat traps, need to swap out the shafts from 9/16 to 1/2". Going to trim bars about 1 1/2" per side, and install chain guard. Still need to clean up the seat, and eventually make a layback seat post. Still deciding if I...

    Great looking bike, what is it? The copper wheels look great up against the red. Yeah, be interesting to see how it rides for sure!

    1980 Schwinn Cruiser Build

    Cleaned rims and spokes. Spokes got wiped down with Gibbs, stuff is magic. It darkened them up, seals the surface to keep from further corrosion. Rebuilt front and rear hubs, smooth like butter now. Didn't get pictures or rear wheel assembly.

    Installed the new custom S&M bars, my son says it's way more comfortable to ride.

    1980 Schwinn Cruiser Build

    Waxed the frame and fork, polished the fork races, installed forks and the Cebe stem, installed crank and sprocket. Sprocket is a Sugino Snowflake 40 tooth, cranks arms are restored Ashtabula, and decided to go ahead and replace bearing cups and all hardware with some stuff I had new cadium done on.

    1980 Schwinn Cruiser Build

    Had a good night, got a lot done. Swapped out the newly chromed S&M bars on the yellow Schwinn Cruiser, tweaked on my daughters Electra, and got a lot done on the blue Schwinn. This bike must have sat outside, inside of steer tube really rusty, fortunately the stem cam out easy. I used my seat...

    1980 Schwinn Cruiser Build

    Here are the tires I'm running, S&M Speedball 26 x 2.4 110 PSI. I actually received the tires a few days ago, these are really well built tires. I mounted on both front and rear rims, they fit the frame and blade forks, rub a little on the chain guard, I'll add some spacers to fix that. Tell you...
