Picked up this old Schwinn a week ago for cheap off Craigslist, and have since become kind of obsessed with making it a rideable and cool looking bike. It's a 1964 Typhoon from the serial number. This is the "before" picture, still working on the "after". I found a "Sweetheart" chainwheel to replace the 48 tooth Wald in the pic, and have replaced and lubed the bearings and trued the wheels. I have 4 other bikes, 2 vintage road bikes and 2 MTB's. Searching through my parts stash, the only parts that would fit was that butt ugly seat, rusty old Wald handlebars and the Raleigh Roadster chrome stem.
Any build ideas would be welcome.
