Will the thick bricks fit on a middlewieght schwinn frame? I have a set of 24" rims with GT mohawk hubs I would love to throw on my bike. I am afraid that they might not fit with the 3" tire without modification to the frame. Thanks OR

Well got the decals and chainguard installed. Now all it needs is a set of creme colored Fat Franks to roll on and a brown leather seat instead of the schwinn no stress big butt seat. Not sure about the chaingaurd either, I kind of like the "Pant Leg Eater" style without the chaingaurd. It...

Thanks! My BMX bike is hating life right now because it was the donor for the cool sprocket. This cruiser is really easy to ride on flat ground and going up hills because I dropped 2 teeth in the front, from a 46 to a 44.

Well applied the water slide decals last night. Man these things are a pain! Ended up ripping the very last one I was applying on the upper frame tube that says "schwinn" :x I'll probably end up getting a couple of the same decals to replace it, so if I mess it up again I still have more. The...

Heres a few pics of my first ground up build. It's a 1980 frame that I had powder coated and added some goodies to it. It's rebirth starts with a nice stripping to check for rust damage. Then I had the frame and original forks powder coated with a color called Misty Midnight. It's a midnight...

Heres a couple pics of the spacer I made to make the long tube springer fit perfectly on the department store style schwinns with the short head tubes. I actually really dig it because it lowers the front end about 1-5/16"(the length of the spacer).

A little fudge factors, but it was pretty simple. Bottom bearing cup didn't quite fit so had to take a little material off with sand paper. Also I had to make a spacer to cover the exposed threads and give the fork tube cap and spring perch something to tighten down to. I'll take a picture of...

I got the springer off an e-bay store bikebuyers.com. I wasn't sure about the springer just like you, but for $39.99 plus shipping I took a shot at it and it came out descent. They aren't the sturdiest thing out there just to let you know, but they do the job.

I got the Schwinn Del Mar for like $120 from Wal-Mart and am very satisfied with the bike. Of course because of it being a low end bike there are some issues, but they were small things like mentioned in the above posts. Loose nuts, bolts, axels, tire alignment. You got to remember there is...
