    (CLASS 1) The Wraith

    Tires are actually Schwinn Stingray Tires from when they were being reproduced during the 90's. Picked them up a while back and had them stashed away for another project but decided they were right for this bike instead.

    Ok, all the paint is on finally, bike has been wet sanded to smooth it out and clear sealed, then clear coated to achieve a nice gloss finish. Then I got on to the decals, and did a little test fitting and assembly of a few parts. Headbadge is new old stock and the colors match the frame...
