Picking the bike up tomorrow. For $25 you can't go wrong. Needs a rear wheel but the rest of it is there.

Thinking about picking up a Twin Schwinn and trying to convert it to a burrito, or something along those lines. Anyone got a link to a build on here like that? I know their on here but I'm not having any luck using the search terms I can think of.
