my next waist of money a crusty old Schwinn DX klunker build

[Slow-Rider]

can't make up my mind slant or straight stem

should I add red tires to play with the red on frame.

or just stick with black.

Did you decided to stick with the paint that's on the frame? I'd be tempted to go with an all black tire with vintage tread pattern on this build, though the red walls might look pretty good too. I don't think you can go wrong with any of those stems but I think I would go with polished aluminum to compliment the forks. That vintage Pro Neck would be sweet!

stem bought!

Item description from the seller
Here is a Vintage 70s 80s Double Clamp BMX Stem… Similar to Mongoose ones but may be a Huffy one… I’m not sure what brand it is… Still has the cap so it may be NOS with shop storage wear or a OG takeoff years ago… Wish I knew more about it, but I don’t…

for now I sanded the lose armature re spray paint down. so it would lay flatter then scrubbed it with SOS pads to get off dirt and grim. the hit the hole frame with flat clear rattle can paint. to protect bare meatal and slow down the rusting. later I may decide to stip and paint it. but for now Pig Pen stays crusty and rusty.
