Starting with a Schwinn Deluxe Cruiser and a Schwinn Heavy Duti, going to build the Cruiser first.
I have a yellow banded kickback that I plan on having laced to a new rim, then getting a large flange hub and new rim as well up front.
Right now I'm contemplating swapping the Maxy Cross on the HD with the stock sprocket on the DC. My goal is a bit of a sleeper, a ratty looking frame/fork combo but smooth running gear. Also anyone have opinions on converting the BB to a sealed BB with an aftermarket kit?

Spun the Schwinn crank on the cruiser and it felt oh so smooth. But I wanted to swap them out so I stared by pulling the crank off the cruiser and found that I was missing a ball, bearing that is. But it's progress!!
