I just finished up an 89 Schwinn ( I think World with chrome fork) fixie that I built for my son. It's the first time I've really tried one, and it's lots of fun! Here are a few pictures of the before and finished bike.
Stripped....used water based stripper, worked great!
Almost went clear over stripped!
Primer...Dupli-color primer and final coat
Some Parts I was going to use...
Finished...
Most of the bike is original. Bike was a mess . I stripped and repainted. The wheels and pedals and seat are new. But I still have the original 27" wheels that are in good condition (rear now single speed freewheel)and the Brooks saddle. I can't wait to start on one for me! :lol:
