I had a good day: Dug out a 24 spoke, aero, single-speed freewheel wheel set, no fixed cog; Removed the one-piece, skiptooth crankset and found a seat clamp that fits my 13/16" seat post nub:

Truly a bummer, but I'll just move on forward.

The frame and fork are in pretty good shape, BUT the unlucky "7" seat post is rusted solid inside the seat tube. I applied penetrating oil quite liberally and put the post in a vise, twisted it hard, and voila!, I twisted the top of the "7" right off! Not the result I wanted. I cleaned off...

Very intriguing. I'll be watching this.

This is just too complicated for me. I will learn from this.

Maybe the headset and bottom brackets have small cups.

You can DO it!

I agree with Kingfish. this will be fun to watch.

I am such a sucker for double top bars. In fact, when I see one on Craigslist, I buy it! Have yourself some FUN!

Impressive parts collection. It's hard for me to imagine how you'll improve it.

I could kill for that frame. Can't wait to see what you do with it.

Solid start. Schwinns don't break easily.

All I can say is "WOW."

Wow! Perfect start. Here's a complete coincidence: I used the term "Hi ho silver" in my skinny tire post. Great minds?

I love the idea of a skinny-tired beach cruiser. The curve on that top bar sets it apart from all the other cantis. Gonna watch with great interest.

Super-solid start. We'll be hoppin' and boppin' to the Rockadile Rock. La . . la la la la la . . .

70-something in Tucson can't wait to meet Mr. Schwinn in finished form. Lakes, what are lakes?

That's already a beautiful bike. Enjoy!

Those Schwinns hold up better than we do. Have fun with it.

It looks like you and I are heading in the same direction! Have fun! BTW, $30 for that Retrospec was a steal!
