Its a Schwinn Schwinn World

Did some trading with another member and brought this home Friday. 1984 Schwinn World frame and driveline in nice condition and my favorite color:

Did this to it last night just for the halibut:

26x2.125 Kenda Kraze on the rear, unknown 26x1 3/8 on the front. Straight mtb bars for the drag bike look. I though this would make a good single speed conversion for simple running around.

Well.....darn. The 2.125 square-ish slick om using rubs the narrow frame. I wonder if a same size tire with a tread style/shape would work? Only 1 way to find out!

This one is now Greg's bike that he can cruise locally and/or take it to school with him in a few years. I'll post pics later after I get home.
