Hi. So i will be using my Schwinn American to commute around town and for exercise. I’m not too confident in the coaster brake stopping quickly when I need it. Can a freewheel and handbrakes be added? Has anyone done this? Thank you.
Hi all. I just built a single speed Klunker and now I want to build a 7 speed. Is it possible and what advice can you give? I have a 1958 Schwinn American frame, forks and cranks. Thank you
Hi all. Super new to anything related to fixing or building a bike. I got a 1958 Schwinn American frame with cranks I want to make into a Klunker. I have a few questions and need recommendations. From what I know this frame takes the Schwinn S7 rims. Will any standard 26” x 1.75 rim fit this...
Hi all. Excited to be here. Just caught the bug when I decided to fix up my wife’s old Schwinn Sprint she got in the 4th grade. Now it’s time to build my first Klunker!
