Today I decided I wanted something new to ride on tomorrows Patriotic Pub Pedal. Last year I rode my RRB Kids Bike Build off bike "Uncle Scram". I got home tonight at 5:30 and started with this Schwinn American frame I had stashed in the attic...
At 8:30 I ended up with this including a 20 minute supper break...
I wish the original paint would have been in a little better condition and the "American" on the chainguard more legible.
I wiped the frame down, sanded off stickers, primered it, painted it and put on the wheels off my black rat rod along with some other parts I had. I'd like to have done more but ran out of time. Maybe next year. I did cut out a tank plate but didn't have time to do anything else with it.
Here's some build pics...
