74 Schwinn HD needs wax

[repedaler]

This wandered into my shop yesterday, had to buy it because it was cheap and I needed the jewels off the rack. Jon (whitecoyote) needed the rack, so he came and picked it up. He took it to Eastbike in centerline mi for Denny the wizard to take the bend out of the fork. Jon returned the beast and I trued the wheels upish (broke a park spoke wrench and a couple spokes in the rear). All in all it’s safe, I think! I think the new bars work! And yes that’s a capo for guitars, to lazy to dig out my trying stand.

The rack cleaned up well.
There's nothing like a nice rack!
Thanks

Great idea for truing wheels!

I recently got into bikes again and am working on trueing a wheel. This is a great idea. Use what you have, have what you use. Nice! This site is a PHD in Bike-ology.

MMM...Just enough grease to make me hungry.. Sweet bike. I love the old yellow schwinns.

It’s a greasy death trap!! Didn’t wash it, just wiped the seat and grips down so I don’t get black mung on me when I ride it!
