I've decided to scrap the "Gold Krate" idea for now and go for a Normal schwinn stingray. I decided i'd go with Orange for the paint job, since that seems to be my favorite color. I want to try to replicate this:
There are a few things I am undecided on though. Wether I should use a Schwinn Mag sprocket or a Lucky 7 sprocket, should I keep the springer fork or should I buy a schwinn fork and repaint it, should I even bother buying a chainguard for it? I'd like to make it as "original-looking" as possible,which will require me finding the correct parts. Please comment with your opinions and/or suggestions.
Now if you haven't seen the other threads about this build, here's what i'll be working with:
It will most likely be fenderless, just so I don't have to go looking for fenders :lol: I also have an original schwinn sissy bar to put on it, so that's no problem. So the parts needed will consist of:
[*]sprocket (mag or lucky 7) because the sprocket in the picture accidentally got bent :x
[*]rims
[*]pedals
[*]crank
[*]handlebars and stem
[*]seat post and seat
