Finally I got a little time. So let's start my first build.
This was the bike when i picked it up. Got it from german ebay for 80 euros.Its a Schwinn Sports Cruiser. The owner told me, he bought it in the states![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
And this is what i did the past few days, between university courses
Sorry for the bad quality. Just made quick basement shots with my mobile.
frame and fork are satin black now:
the additional sticks (whatever they are called) for the fork are red now:
bought used white rims (47mm), painted them red:
same with the chain:
the fat franks(26x2.35) came together with the rims:
new black ape:
last but not least, new valve caps.black skull with red eyes:
hubs and spokes are black too. for the saddle I'm thinking of leopard fur. the "tank" and the chainguard of course need decals, pinstripes or something else. Don't know yet. but they can not stay naked
Hope I can put it all together during the next days.
to be continued...
