I'll just keep adding here...

My 1986 Schwinn Sierra had a Slingshot Stem.

Another 86 I still need to finish .

Was given a prewar Rollfast. Not sure what to do with it really

Did I just hear a KLUNKing sound? No? Just my imagination. Carry on

Black Chrome

Mine was that color.

The bar "end" placement is still messing with my mind. Bar mids? Am I curious enough to pull off my grips and shifters? Probably not.

I promise it will be changed once I install the cables and start making adjustments , but there's a few bikes in front of it . Guys gotta support his bike habits some way .

First I gotta get my mid school MTB on, then I'll be hunting for something a little more old school, slingshot or bullmoose bars are high on my wish list. Being in Canada, it'll probably be some weird Norco or something. They were great at neon fades and splatter paint

I actually picked this up a while back, but hadn’t posted a pic as I wasn’t sure I was going to keep it. It arrived with damage the seller had not disclosed. The keyhole was ripped and cracked, and the rear triangle was outta wack. I had the key hole repaired and drop outs cleaned up by Johnny True Torch. And with some careful use of a 2x4 I massaged the rear triangle back into place.

So now it's a TrueTorch Star Cruiser? I love the Star, one of my "must have" bikes. Someday

Well, I mean, he was the original welder for it back in ‘80....

And I have been eyeing the decals.. the chrome is pretty beat on it, so I think a full decal set may look a little off. Was gonna try for either just the head badge decal, or a vintage skate sticker on the head tube.

Didn't know that about JTT. Was he welding headers and whatnot there before they started doing bikes? Was he John TT then, or just John S?

Edit: you might be into bikes if you can name more welders than Kardashians

I honestly don’t know. But I think he was there for the bikes. Went to CW after that.

So, if you’ve ever tried to build a King Sting, you know the hardest two pieces to find by far are the bars and forks.....

Got these in the mail yesterday, so stoked!!

HUGE thank you to @Robertk !!!

Nothin crazy, but an interesting frame in a larger size. Late 90s Schwinn Cruiser supreme.

I had a thread trying to identify this one about 6 months back. Finally decided to drag it home.

Not a bad weekend. Saturday I found three Schwinns.
his and hers lightweights, and a middle weight cruiser

Sunday the Swap was back on and I found some great smalls.

 

[Dizzle Problems]

Been picking things up and neglecting to take pictures. Got a nice Spaceliner yesterday-

A week or so back I was fortunate enough to come across another MCS Magna Cruise. It had much better chrome, original decals, and the proper fork. I didn’t take any pics before I frame swapped everything from my current one-

 

[MattiThundrrr]

Love em both. Spaceliner is on my "must buy" list

Same. If I didn’t already have one, this one would be a keeper. Cleaned up nice
