Signs of spring are finally here and its time to get my build on. For this project, my first for rrb's.com I have a 63 schwinn.
Here it look as it was when I picked it up.
I was originally gonna build something along the lines of a boardtrack with this frame but pulled out the moment I came across this Super Deluxe on the schwinn site.
The low rise bmx bars blew my mind and now I gotta use them in a build for a rat rod truck inspired rat cruiser. I feel using the bmx bars they give the bike that same low wide look like that of a truck.
In case you not sure what I mean by truck (tho Im sure most here will know) here some images for reference and btw both are major influences on this build.
Being I have no lbs I hit up amazon for a set of low rise bmx bars
Amazon Prime is very important for where I am and I got the green bars being they were the cheapest and knowing beforehand I wanted to strip them raw and finish with a matte clear coat. I also ordered me up a bmx stem, a stem adapter, and a few other goodies that have already arrived.
I am looking forward to this build and am stoked to be sharing with so many of you who's builds I have seen and enjoyed from a good couple years of lurking this site. I will post the first part of the build very soon.
