FINISHED!!!!!! Chain is on and it rides SMOOTH!!! Thank you RRB, all the fellow builders and friends!

Needs a chain and a few more tweeks.

Found my neck, handlebars, seat post clamp and seat. Seat came from a 70's Ross; I love the stripes.

Got a little out of order, here is the paint job.

I did choose to go with BLACK!!! Also added NOS fenders that I bought from the sell off of Memphis Bicycle Company over a year ago.... Still have a stash of parts for a few future builds.

I do love when I find the schwinn name on parts that are not seen by the naked eye.

I wanted to thank all the people that were giving me encouragement during the build off. Unfortunately, with the seat post issue I had, it put me behind and I was unable to recover BUT I have never been one to quit. Even though the build off is over I am going to continue to post until I am...

After a couple of weeks of efforts I was able to chisel the seat post down enough to so I can insert a new one. I even tried to beat it downward.

Here is the aftermath of the seat post pulling...

Sorry for the delay in posting. I had it all mocked up and then I set out to pull the seat post.....

When I pulled it out of a field the forks were not original to the bike. After pulling them, I realized that they would have had a locking springer fork (because of the bearing cup). The ones I went with came off a 54 schwinn parts bike I had. The truss rods I will use came off a 1950 Schwinn I...

Finally finished media blasting it yesterday. To paint or not to paint??? What do you think? If so; Color? Just use clear coat over the way it stands? Gonna use my NOS Lightning Dart tires. I will be using the standard forks with truss rods.

Found two different forks for the build. 1950 Schwinn Black Phantom Springer or a 1954 Schwinn standard fork with truss rods....

Sorry guys, I needed to put my project to the side for a few weeks. I had a paying customer who wanted their sons 1986 redline restored. First time I have done a BMX bike. After blasting it, powdercoat, massive elbow grease to get off all of the layers of spray paint and replacing a few parts I...

Finished blasting the chain guard.

Started blasting the frame

Will be adding this chain guard from a girls Schwinn Starlet.

I pulled this out a field in Mustang OK several months back. Turned out is was a 1950 Schwinn (possible Panther). Front fork was not original and after I pulled it, I realized it once had a locking springer. Not sure on direction yet.
