1st Bike Build (HeartBreaker)

[Spokes]

Not sure on a name yet, but im thinking something like "HeartBreaker" Lol

Its a '58 Schwinn straight bar frame I don't know anything else about it as far as what model it is.

I had the Frame & Rims chemical dipped and powdercoated Baron Red

I'll post more pics the further along I go

if you dont mind me asking... how much did you pay for the powder coating. I am looking to possibly do that to a couple projects. Thanks

I found a guy here in Cinti., that did the frame, chain guard, and the rims for $125
Chemical dip and powder coat. Most of the places that I called wanted $200 just to powder coat !!! I would have still had to have someone sandblast it.

How a bout a pic of the frame/fork with the wheels on it, let's see it!

 

[Spokes]

I can do that tomorrow. I've got the frame at work where most of my tools are. I brought the wheels home since no tools required lol.
