Re: 53 Schwinn wasp
got the springer fork painted and clear coated the rods just need to degrease the spring bracket and reassemble.
will work on fabricating a new rubber bumper for the spring bolt tomorrow and doing the pin stripe on the fork.

My Daughter after her first ride on her reconditioned Sprite 27. we went 5 miles and she chose the dress cause it would look good. this is the bike she is planning to take to college, with the addition of a rack and some fenders.
(Photo approved by my daughter)
(she did not want her helmet in the picture and made sure there was no helmet hair LOL)
