Hey all, Been quite a while since I posted here, time for some updates.... Built a new "klunker" bike to ride, I had an old Schwinn twin bar frame laying around, couldn't let it go to waste, so I built this up....
Most of the parts on this bike are off my 2007 SE OM Flyer, the fork is a Pyramid 20 dollar cheapie, new vintage style seat, the handlebars are from the ATV Motorcycle shop, I cut the bars down a hair but they are still 29 inches wide :shock: , I got some weld on V brake mounts and slapped them on the rear, some might consider it sacrilege to put mounts like this on an old frame, to me it was just sitting there not being used, I "patina-ed" the bre brake mounts and paint I sanded off to match the old faded paint, used some red oxide primer and it came out pretty good...
Overall I really like how this bike turned out, it has the right "look" I was going for, old repack style klunker, yet rides very well and has good brakes, pretty good for a 10 dollar grage sale bike that lived for many years outside....
