@Brunson67 - The yellow Schwinn turned out great.

Sunlite sandy beach. 2.5's

It's not a 26", it's a 24" Huffy Good Vibrations, but I think it's in the spirit of this thread. Chain guard is from a no-name 26" skinny-tire bike and cut down to fit. Trying to decide about handgrip color: Green? Orange? Black? Probably will add a layback seat post to improve ergonomics.

My uncle was an OG Klunker/ Bomber rider when it was a new thing. This is as close as i could get to the 1 picture I saw of his bike from 1969.

I've asked a schwinn expert and a few builders. No idea. Thought to be a late 70's but where its from is still a mystery to me.

Reminds me a little of the bars on my Procraft cruiser...tall, but not as wide though.

Forget about the bars-- what chain is that?!?

Thanks! Sunlite Sandy Beach, 2.5's, they are awesome tires, and 55 PSI
