Just Playing Around

[Uncle Stretch]

Well the Schwinn stretch is finished. I still have to come up with some cool
way to put the shifter for the nexus 3 speed on....but its rideable.
Its a little close with the seat all the way down. If I did a laid back seat post
then it would be a stretch to reach the bars and they are perfect right now.
May just raise the seat up a little. Lost the Schwinn head badge in all the excitement.
Hope you like it.

Thanks Aaron glad you like it.
Its funny Peatbog I needed to fill up the tube ends anyway and I found out a handle bar
would fit in there tight so I cut a couple short pieces an put them in there. Kinda added a little. :lol:

Looks freakin sweet! Although as a rule, you MUST photograph the drive side....(ok that's my rule), Still a great job! 8)

 

[Uncle Stretch]

Thanks.
Thats funny. It was misting here and I wanted a quick ride for a shakedown. I parked it
real quick and ran in and got my camera before it started to rain hard. Just happened to be that side.

One of my favorites of yours! 8) 8)

 

[Uncle Stretch]

Its kinda funny Schwinnray, It really has quite a bit of work in it, but looks so stock.
Glad you like it. Was worth building to see what one stretched would look like.

Looks stock ...not at all! :shock: Those rear stays look so cool 8)

Like I said before, If you don't like it, just send it to me :lol:

 

[Uncle Stretch]

If I decide to give it away, you will be first on the list. I haven't really ridden it yet.
The quick run today wasn't much and then it started raining. Good ol Texas weather.

[ind-chuckz]

Is that the bike you picked up from me not that long ago. Lol you tha man!!! Looks good!

 

[Rat Rod]

People are getting wise to Uncle Stretch's free bike program.

 

[ind-chuckz]

Lol Ratrod

 

[Uncle Stretch]

Ok pick your second on the list, but don't get too excited, its probably going to stay.

Yep Chuck its the tired ol Schwinn you gave me.....looks better huh?

 

[ind-chuckz]

Looks good I would like to do a pedal forward on a worksman Inb. I don't have to much time for my on projects anymore. Anytime you need a project frame or stuff you know where I'm at. Glad it worked out for ya. Good job!!

 

[Uncle Stretch]

I really appreciate it Chuck. Gave me something to do. Keep a worksman frame handy your
going to trash and maybe I can do a little magic on one for you. I owe you anyway. :wink:

Whoa whoa whoa right there. Thought you didn't like schwinns? Or have I been gone that long?

 

[ponyboy]

Did you build the springer also? It is really nice. I have my grandfather's old bike and was wondering what type of set up to do. I really like this. Congrats.

Thats pretty funny. No I didn't turn over a new leaf or anything. I just got a trashed out bike from Chuck to play with.
Choices were a Schwinn or a Worksman. Picked the Schwinn. Its been a long time since I chopped up a stock bike.
Ponyboy the fork is off a Monarch. They are fairly plentiful around here if you keep an eye out.
Glad you like the build.
