Hello All…
Well I went to the ACME swap meet Saturday…
Didn’t find a good frame for the build off…
But I did get some good parts for this frame I found…
A March of 1974 Schwinn frame…
A 35 year old unbuilt 26 inch Schwinn cantilever frame…
I couldn’t believe it…
How could this frame sit for that long!!!
I stopped by Peddler’s to have the nos kickstand installed…
And BicycleRick seemed to think it was a warranty frame…
I would have to guess the same…
The bearing cups show no ware…
Not a scratch on the drop outs or the seatpost…
There are a few scratches and a little shopware…
My conscience kicked in and I don’t know if she would be better,,,
Hanging on the wall…
Or
Built up with the right set of parts…
I keep thinking it will only be new once…
