Parts that may be used, or maybe not.

I’ve got a pair of these waiting to squeeze into place.

I may chop off the chain guard tabs...but use the bridge to mount a new fender. The tires are going to be so fat, normal fenders won’t work.

I gotta hand it to the Asian welders, their beads aren’t too bad. So you know, this frame weighs in at 5lbs, stripped.

Ok This frame is a Schwinn Tornado that was stripped for parts by my friend that owns Stonehall Bicycle, Monroe. It needs a fork and seat post that is not from your average cruiser. Jeff is a tech wizard with all the tools, so I recruited him to help me bore out the head tube to fit adapters...

space saver Picking up the bike frame tonight, 5/1 Hint: It’s Aluminum and It’s a Schwinn.

Actually putting one together this year. The competition is usually pretty stiff and I don’t have much time, but I have a whole lot of parts that are just sitting around. I have an aluminum cruiser frame hanging in the basement that I want to ride.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Very nice!

I'm open to a rule of you MUST start with a factory frame. Just no scratch-built frames (sub category). Must use existing bottom bracket, steering tube, seat stay. Every other mod is fair game.

I should rephrase, did they build it over seas to hit that price? If made in the USA, that's in the ball park for a modern, sturdy bike. That being said, I would buy 7, 50 yr. old Chicago rustbuckets instead. :D

The people that complain about the $ have been shopping at walmart too much... but they should have put a springer or some other fork on it and not copied the phantom paint scheme.

Really cool bike! I like the retro style with ultra-modern tech. I want that belt-drive hub for a build, but I'm sure its cost alone could get me about 10 other bikes.

Not me. Keep it real.

Sweet Typhoon! I've got one, myself. I love to see a complete ground-up-rework :shock: . Looks like you're headed in the right direction. Can't wait to see more pics.

NICE! I'd ride it! 8)
