my '63 typhoon build

[Frankthetank]

the lord said, "ask and you shall recieve", i went over to my homeboy flacos house and was telling him about these cool little rear lights i wanted to put on it and, voila!! he whipped one out of his garage and let me keep it, thanks bro! im not sure how these get connected, any one know how?

thats all that i got, im not sure if theres something missing to it.

That looks great!

Cool. Have you checked the fork to find out what the biggest tire you could fit? I'm doing a build on a 1979 Schwinn and the fork is dang near identical.

These are 26 x 2.125 tires on my 1980 Typhoon. It's a middleweight, originally come with 26 x 1 3/4 S7's. The fenders won't fit without rubbing though.

You're bike looks good, I thought about running the balloners but I wanted something different that I haven't had plus Ive since fell in love with the s7's. I'm just gonna save my pennies and get a set of nos or maple island westwind tires.

I fit 26x2.35 Fat Franks on my '63 Typhoon... With fenders... It can be done

 

[Frankthetank]

Not really sure what tires those franks are but if it's those overly wide tires, I hate them! Lol. I'm going to try n post more pics when I can. The last ones came out super small, I think I screwed with something on me camera.

If you click on them it takes you to Photobucket and they can be seen just fine. :wink:

They aren't overly wide, IMO. They do fill up the fenders though. What I really love about them is the incredible amount of grip they have, and not jarring my bones when I hop off a curb. And they look great

 

[Frankthetank]

Ur right, they're not to wide. Idk why but I was thinking they were like the stingray occ tires but taller.

 

[GTV]

Yep, good looking AND functional

 

[Frankthetank]

Anyone know what size screws fasten the fenders to the frame?

 

[Frankthetank]

Nevermind, I thought they werescrewed into the frame like on my 97 schwinn cruiser but they're not.
