Earl Grey

[kingsting]

Let's call this one done! Not sure what else I could do to it. I accomplished all my goals which were to do a simple, inexpensive build, use parts from my stash and not buy a single thing for it, and end up with a decent rider with a classic "bomber" look & feel to it. The bike worked nearly perfect on it's maiden voyage many weeks ago and has needed no attention ever since...

Love the old school mtb vibe on this bike build! Skin walled tires, pedals / cranks, chrome fork, red brake pads, thumbie shifter....it all works on this build!

I really didn't expect just how much I like this bike!

A cool old school Schwinn mountain bike on the cheap! Nice!

You're a winner when you've accomplished all your goals! Nice job.

Thanks King! Yeah, I've been riding this thing all over the place. It's rock solid and super comfy... The big Z Max tires are slow on the streets but I love the way they buzz on the asphalt!
