So I posted this earlier in fresh finds and I got around to "cleaning" it earlier tonight. I am not sure what the year is but I know that it is a Schwinn World, it had 28" steel clad wooden wheels on it but the wheels were just to bent and damaged beyond repair for me to use. My plans are to use the hubs and lace them to some new 28'' hoops, I am going to run some 28x2'' Schwalbe cream tires and pretty much leave it as is. The frame is heavily patina'd but in a good way, I measured it and it is square and surprisingly solid. All I did was wash off as much gunk as possible with some soapy water a brush, I'll be "detailing" it tomorrow.
The leather on the seat is very hard and dry, it is not cracked anywhere though, do you guys have any recommendations on how to bring the leather back to life? Anyway, here are some pics that I snapped in my garage, this is a 700x40c wheel set, I think the 28''x2's'' will just look amazing once they are on.
