My first Schwinn DX and skip toothed bike

 

[Pondo]

Great bike, this will be a fun build!

A tip on posting pics, when you attach your image you can click on 'Insert' and then select 'full image'. This will let you post larger pics for easier viewing.

Great start!

Welcome to RRB BO fun! Keep the posts and progress photos and prose comin'!

 

[OddJob]

Just went through your pics. Tell me about that Rustoleum Aircraft Remover. I assume it's a type of stripping application? The chainring and cranks and BB look great if that's what you used on them!

Bring us up to date on this cool old Schwinn!

 

[Roosterbooster0]

Yes it's one of the best working paint strippers I've used.

[OddJob]

That does a good job. And just wiped off with a paper towel! Pretty fast acting from the way it looks?

 

[kingfish254]

Wow, I don't know of any stripper that I have worked with that you would want to use bare hands with it.

I found a decent "all natural" paint stripper a couple years ago, even it burns your skin.

Looks like it's cleaning up nicely!

At first glance I thought you were attacking it with a chainsaw!

Yeah it works fast.i scrape the bubbling paint of with a scraper tool then after I've removed the bulk of it I respray the entire bike then wipe off with paper towels. Ps. Don't be like me lol use gloves. I'm a rebel Dottie

Working out of town so this whole build has been done in or outside a hotel.lol I'm a rebel Dottie

Frame cleaned up nicely! Some nice brazing on there too.

Hotel manager: "Sir, some guests have been complaining about a toxic smell coming from your room."

RoosterboosterO: "Really? I don't smell anything at all."

Hotel manager: "Sir, you have a gas mask on."

"Hey, the sign says No Smoking. Not No Spray Painting or Clear Lacquer. I'm good."

Did you, by chance, braze that frame in the hotel too? Now that would be something.

You should really try using the FULL IMAGE feature when you insert your pics, that way people see more than just the thumbnail and don't have to click to embiggen them. It makes build journals much more accessible.

 

[OddJob]

As KF was saying, just Attach file, then click on Insert and select Full image. And we get to see your beautiful frame like this:

If you attach them all in order you can click the insert multiple and put them all full size more easily than clicking just one.
