Here are some pics of leadbelly. She is a '61 Schwinn, born on August 29th.

Her Schwinn nameplate has been put back on since the photographs were taken.
 
Oh, SWEET!
Great look - nice job!
 
they look like schwalbe delta cruisers.

another question - if they are 26x1 3/8", where did you get the wheels????

one more..... if they are 700s, how did they fit in the frame???
 
Thanks for the compliments!

Those are 700C deep v wheels laced to a coaster brake on the back with Schwalbe Delta Cruiser tires. They fit the frame perfectly.
It would be much cheaper to build your own than to pay what I would ask for this bike.

best regards,

Thank you again for the compliments! They mean quite a lot especially after looking at your bikes.

Today leadbelly took me over to the historic Faber's Cyclery. Here are a few pics.

Love the tire/wheel combo! Classy looking......very nice!
 
Sorry if it is taboo to post this here, but I am looking for a Sachs duomatic or Bendix blue band hub with 28 spoke holes for leadbelly. I would prefer the Sachs. If you have one, or know where to find one please let me know.

best regards,
psz.
 
now i am going to have to take off my 700c wheels from my road bike and see if they fit any of my canti frames.
