I love that reflection. One of the coolest things about the bike and I had nothing to do with it.

With at least half a dozes locations and over a hundred photos I have moved on to the finished bikes category.

It’s not the frame I started with. The original plan was with a girls Spaceliner frame. I just wasn’t liking it. So I switched to the 1964 Schwinn Traveler. It was a basic build with the obvious chainring from the Schwinn exercise bike. No matter what I did or thought about doing I kept...

It’s tough to pay attention to the road when you got this in the rear view mirror

Still doing some finishing touches. May switch out the handlebars again.

I think it’s a good representation of the original. Have a few finishing touches to do.

spent a lot of time changing my mind lately but I have the final decision.

It’s tough to resist the urge to put it together as soon as the paint is on. Fortunately I painted it and left for vacation. I am home now and back at it.

This is the primer and the clear. The clear is not on it yet.

Rustoleum, in the past I have not been satisfied with its durability. Hopefully I have better luck with this bike.

I have the siding saved but the previous owner cut it around both wheels to change the tires.

Got paint and primer on. I love the color. Now that I see the color I wish I went with better quality paint.

Months ago I promised my wife to redo both kids bedrooms in July so I had to step away from this project. But I am proud to say that with carpet installed on July 31 I finished the project on time. So today I am back to the bike, going backwards in order to go forward. UPS delivered the tires...

Thanks
