1960 Schwinn Tornado

Ive been looking for a straight bar frame for a while. I went to the 1 year Anav. sale at Vintage Bicycle Supply in Sacramento and saw this Schwinn tornado. Ive never actually seen one before. It looks really cool with the double straight bar. If youve never been to SVB you need to get down there, its a great LBS to support and one that I will frequent for a long time. its painted with red house paint. Im going to leave it like this for a while(im still building my wifes bike)

thanks, I cant wait to start on it. But unlike most of my projects I dont think ill start until I get a plan and assemble most of the pieces. I really have no idea what direction I am going to go with this one. In the mean time im going to put new tires and bars on it and regrease the BB and Rear hub and ride the hell out of it.
