Picked this up from a customer of mine. 1974 Schwinn Suburban. Looks horrible? Yet it has peaked my interest with how it looks. Sporadic spots of rust and corrosion everywhere. Everything is solid and in working order. Half tempted to treat the rust, clear coat it, new tires and a service and...

Made a tool to get the flat spot out. Worked great! Spent about $15 making the tool and two hours removing dent and truing the rim. Could not ask for better results. Got it all back together, went for a mile run and no problems. Bike rides and handles great! Happy and I do believe this Super...

Yes great parts bike if I go that way? Still undecided. Going to fix the problems and go from there. Not real thrilled about the blue on this one but too nice to repaint!

Got my first bike in 1971, a 20 inch schwinn, yellow with black stripes on the fenders and black banana seat. Rode that thing till the frame broke in the early 80's. Been playing with bikes up till eight years ago. Built a Schwinn heavy duty with a gas engine, would run like wild fire till a...
