Neon Schwinn Ruler

[springerdesigner]

The first bike I've built so far. I know some may hate on it but I personally dig it. Anyways... here it is.


What is started as and my crappily photoshopped vision:

The breakdown began...

Painting/Stripping Supplies... that can on the far left is pure amazing. Pics of it's capabilities below:

My make-shift paint rig. Not terrible for a rattle can job.

I TRIED primering my front forks but I could not fit it back in the trees so I was forced to go with a brushed metal look ha.

Neon went on...

It glowed...

And I got impatient. But was a simple fix...

I even painted screw heads... details, yo...

Other parts began coming in... and the shoe that inspired the paint job.

My beefy tires... went with a 24x3 setup

Rims finally came in from Germany... yea... I know.

A few of the first pics... sans front fender:

(that's my ladies Schwinn Collegiate)

PHEW. Thanks for taking a look. I've got a few others I'm working on currently. I'll post pics when those are done.

Cheers,

Nice work! Massive improvements over the original! Sorry, but I had to delete some photo's due to wording on the chainguard stickers breaching the website rules...

Ahhh. Understandable. Although, that's the best angle of the bike... I'll try and photoshop the sticker out of the image.

Cheers.

Here's one from the other side... edited out the "curse" word on the chain guard.

Looked like a fun and challenging project , came out great. Those rims with the spokes and spokes and spokes really add to the bike, along with the large tires. You were fortunate to get them on without any rubbing.
