Hi all
I've got this '57 Schwinn that someone already ratted out![21 :21: :21:](/forum/styles/fusion/xenforo/smilies/21.gif)
I changed the tires from some rotten ones to these white walls [china made amazon purchase].
I'd like to put the paint back to the original color or an original Schwinn color. Or just got custom with a heavy gold flake on a midnight blue.
Here is the paint that I found while cleaning it up recently:
I bought it for $100 and I was not believing the guy when he said it was a '57 and was surprised when I looked up the serial number. I was in the market for a cruiser and I was actually on my Fuji hybrid when I saw this one for sale in front of a shop.
I'd like to get some of the original pieces that the bike came with. I really need a kickstand and this one seems to have shed it somewhere in it's life.
Here is what my kickstand holder looks like:
I bought one off eBay that claimed to be vintage, well it didn't even fit in the dang hole. $25 shot. A reputable seller would be nice if you guys have some or maybe even a real store that isn't going to rip me off just because it's an old bike.
