'37 Schwinn

[Lil' rat rod]

By far my favorite style of bike I've ever built. Rides the best too. It's not "period" correct, but it's what I could come up with on a budget. Already planning another using a '39 DX.

Before:



After:



'37 C model Schwinn blasted and clear coated
Sunlite fork
Dyno neck rescued from a river
Fly racing handlebars
Fit grips
Brooks B-17
eBay quick release seat post clamp
No name 3 piece crank bought on here
Infesto pedals were thrown in with cranks, smoothest pedals ever
Weinmann AS7X wheels, Shimano coaster- eBay wheelset
Schwalbe Fat Frank's

Weighs in just over 30 lbs. Would like to add a lay back seat post and quick release front hub.

The sun was messing with the coloration in that pic. It's a bare metal gray color.
