nice work and i like the color. with all the balloon and middleweight cruisers i see, it is refreshing to see a lightweight of sorts like your come around. i also have a schwinn world bike from early 60's that was a 3speed, but i now might build into a ???. hmmm... got an old s.a. hub around i could put a 16t cog on, a 48tooth chainring that im not afraid to use... and the need... for speed. no seriously, you just gave me an idea or two. good looking out and good looking bike.

Yeah, does look great. I wish we had those around here. It's tough even finding a regular cantilever schwinn that someone doesnt want 200+ for.

well i sold the Racer today.
i replaced the wheels with 26 x 1 3/4" from my typhoon.
put the 3/8" ones on my raleigh.

i got $150 for it.
i think thats pretty good. for me, and for the guy that bought it.

blink!
