So I've had this 1984 schwinn cruiser I bought at a garage sale a few years ago sitting in the side yard in my bone yard ! I also had a rusty breeze with a cracked frame ( someone smacked a curb pretty hard ) and have been kicking around the idea of building a board track bike for a while . So I cut the top tube and bottom tube out of the breeze and made a few. It's on the cantilever frame , put in a few hours and wound up with the bike pictured below . I have some stuff to track down for it so stay tuned !!

So I'm going to ditch the stainless tank idea , I'm going to make it out of steel and make some stainless trim for the tank instead !! I started making the tank today and halfway into getting the shape dialed it started to rain so I'll get Back to it in a little while
 
So I've been tripping over this bike for about 4 years now in my garage!! As soon as I finish my 1962 tiger build I'm going to get back on this ! think I'm going to run a Monark fork on it and haven't decided on what to do for fenders yet ! And some fairly wide wheels ! Current pic of it !

So I picked up this 40's ladies bike recently and decided it would be a good donor for my board tracker build
