I got the rear wheel all assembled and now the front one completely disassembled. I'm going to start sanding it up in a little just as soon as the weather warms up a bit.

heres my rear wheel all assembled. i was surprized that regular universal 26" tubes and rim strips fit this s7 wheel. i thought those were specialized like the tires are but theyre not.
just giving the front one another day to dry so i can do the stripping on it then reassemble it.
cant wait.
bruno making sure everything is going smooth with the project.

Hello
Wheels came out great. I am working on a 63 and 67 Typhoon. One will be basicly stock and the other is evolving. I will be following your build and start to post mine. I look forward to getting more ideas from you. Didnt know you could get that stencil kit for the wheels so I have learned something already !!! - Thanks

Yes you can get the stencil kit on eBay, the link is somewhere here on my thread, it should take you to another one just like it.bebopblu said:

Youre bike came out nice unfortunately for me my frame is still at the shop waiting to be powder coated, 3 weeks and counting when I was originally told 2 weeks cause they were backed up but no dice. This is really driving me up a wall to I have all my parts ready and on standby but no frame. Hopefully before the end of the week.
Tell me about it. They said they're backed up but I didn't think it would be any more than the two weeks they told me. Three weeks is just ridiculous, I'm thinking if it isn't ready by Friday I'm just going to go pick it up and find some one else to powder coat it or maybe paint it with spray paint. I'm super teed off.ndaway said:
looks good so far
i finaly got her back this afternoon. she came out sweet. the pictures dont do it justice especially cause it was dark already but ill take more soon.
i havent checked to see if a 26x125 would fit. im assuming they wouldnt as its a middleweight. eitherway im running the og wheels and tires. all my beach bikes have always been fat tire models so its a sweet little change for me to go with the thinner tires plus i love those brick treads.lildietz said:
Sweet! 
putting on decals, lighting is a must!
got her back from the powdercoaters the otherday, speaking of them, they were kind enough to bead blast my kickstand and remove the surface rust charge free, looks like new. big thanks to precision stripping and coating in lodi!
shes pretty much done i just need to get my chainguard smoothed out and find a front middleweight fender, have them stripped and coated and then.
she rides a little rough, im assuming its the original schwinn s7 weather cracked tires making it feel sluggish.
