my first schwinn build

[tatman]

this is one of my first builds, got it on trade for a tattoo, did some work so far. next i want to remake the fork tubes out or copper, plus an inch or two, and add a copper insert into the frame. sorry, my computer isnt letting me attach the pics properly (stupid mac)

Good looking bike. I used copper tubing for the struts on the springer on my Schwinn, but the copper tubing wouldn't be strong enough for the fork tubes themselves.

yeah thats what i was thinking about the fork tubes too, but im gonna try using 1 inch tube, fairly thick walled, with the copper support tubes in 1/2 inch, also beefier, so its worth a try anyways...we'll see i guess :lol:
