new bike in the garage ... almost

[socal_jack]

My new Schwinn Admiral late 30s, just need to pick it up.

Probably won't be a resto, might be a klunker mtn bike project. Not psyched on the colors, need to figure something out there, without messing up the original.

Oh wow...what a frame and what sweet original paint!

Very cool set of truss rods too.

Would make for a sweet daddy ratty. :wink:

 

[Markm]

white rims would look sweet!!

great bike. I think a clunker would be perfect on that frame.

 

[chimichanga]

mmmmmm nice one!

 

[mastershake916]

When I saw that frame I thought clunker.
Perfect shape and paint, and the fork braces too.

 

[Clothespin n]

Clunkify it!
all out!...Drum Brakes and all!

great looking frame,

peace,
Kev.

I'm thinking somthing like this;

Probably more use of black though

 

[Clothespin n]

exactly that..
but with period correct, early 70's BMX bars.

That's ( the picture ) a nice one to model from,

peace,
Kev.

Oh yeah, should be picking it up today with an additional bonus, the dude has offered up the near mint head badge for an extra $25 cash.

wowsers...I would keep the colors the way they are. It would be hard to replicate the design yourself and too spendy to have someone do it. It would be an amazing clunker.

The badge looks pretty good also

Frame is in really good shape but therre are some rust spots above the lower bar, may have been a tank or something there. Fork seems alot darker than the frame but may be just some grime as the striping seems to match.
Need to clean it all up.
