You sure can't! The patina makes this bike, it makes yellow look good, lol. Thanks!! I was hesitant about using it since it was in such bad shape. After it was cleaned, clear coated, and somewhat beat back into shape it looks pretty good. I figured that whats the worst that can happen by...

Well I got the box all done a few days ago and finally got around to putting it on today. I even got lucky and it didn't rain this evening so I took her out for a 3+ mile ride. Felt good to get out and show off the new whip, lol. Here is the finished product:

I'm going to take that gooey sticker with the numbers off, then matte clear coat it. Should I redo the numbers? Do the same numbers as on the frame panel?

Got the chainguard beat into shape, clear coated, and bolted on. Here is a pic of the box. Going to work on beating it into shape tomorrow evening. Keep its color? Clear coat it? Black? Yellow? I was able to take it out for a short spin inbetween rain storms tuesday. Rides real well...

Wow. That is some amazing work! :thumbsup:

Thanks everyone!! I wish I would have gotten this done in time for the winter build off. Oh well, I'm gathering parts for BB9! I really want to use the original box to. I think I may have another look at it and see what can be done to use it. Not sure if it can be straightened out or not...

Good day everyone! Not a lot to say, so I'll just show some pics. I got this bike for free when I bought a bowflex off of CL. Decided to build a single speed mountain bike. Before After My wife got a bike and wound up getting a new Schwinn cruiser, so I decided I needed to get one to...

I'm diggin that rusty seat on the right!

Never saw anyone outside and it always looked like no one was home.

Nice finds!!

Well, 'The big blue whale' is what is written on the chainguard..... but it looks more like a 1950 Schwinn. Long story short, I'm a garbage man and I have been eyeing this bike leaning up against a tree for several years now, every friday when I pick up the trash on the street. I was bound and...

Awesome, thanks!

Looks like I forgot that picture. Guess that would help huh.

Scored this rusty beauty today, wondering what year and model this is. http://schwinncruisers.com/serial-number.html says its a '50, just wondering if that's correct.

Thanks for posting this. Better add it to my calendar. Is there a Facebook page or Facebook event for this?

Nice find! It's amazing what people throw away, I'm a garbage man and I find so many awesome things.
