I finally found the starting point for the first bike my wifey asked me to build for her. It is wonderful shape and I had to try hard to find many flaws at all. But she wants it cherry red so say goodbye to the beautiful blue paint and minty chainguard decal.

Ouch...definitely sell it and find a beater. :shock:

Once you wash that paint and give it a quick wax job you'll be amazed at what that looks like.
 
I do have a couple back up plans as well.

1. See if my 10 year old would rather have the Breeze and use her Campus Green Collegiate for my wife.

2. Find a S-5 or S-6 Wheel set or steal the ones off of the Breeze and use this frame set.

I would find some wheels for that frame. I might have some let me check

S-5s would be perfered if you have a pair. I think I might try and shoehorn those 700c wheel set from the Gateway into the frame and see how she looks.

I've fit 27 x 1 1/4 tires under 26" schwinn fenders. Don't think you could get 28's under there. I'll go check right now for the rims
