It's amazing that you were able to stick a 29er wheel with a pretty hefty tire into that 27" frame!
Really like the look of the skinny tubes and the big tire / wheel combo.

For me, the black grips seem to stick out too much. I wonder if you could find some brown grips before your final photo shoot that might match your tires and especially that sweet saddle.

Baby blue / brown / beige has always been one of my favorite color combos. You pulled it off well! Looks like a great rider.

Thanks for the positive words. Part on my objective was to keep as many classic Schwinn parts as possible. So those Schwinn cushion grips are staying. I have several classic original Schwinn's with original color grips and brown Brooks saddles (basically the only thing not original is the saddle & tires), besides on this one I think the black grips tie into the truss rods & rear rack.

Cool details on this bike that just flow together. Love the Shiner holder.
