Re: Rust-DX- Complete to the down tube
I got the rear laced up and the big rubber mounted. I slipped it into the frame and it had plenty of clearance.
{Insert pic later}
I am still wrestling with a rusty crank to remove the skip tooth sprocket and mount a 1/2" pitch sprocket if I can get it to flash rust in the next day or two.

Re: Rust-DX- Complete to the down tube
Skip tooth driver battle won! Got the skippy mounted on the hub and the rear wheel on the bike. Also found a suitable crank and Schwinn skip tooth front sprocket to mount up.
Still need to check my crusty skip tooth chain stock to see if I can get enough usable chain to make it work. I have my pedals, but need to find a layback post and a seat that fits the build.

Re: Rust-DX- Rolling!
I found a well weathered coppertone seat that will work for now until I pick out a more fitting saddle. Also found a crusty pair of Schwinn pedals that are just what was needed. All I am lacking is a 28tpi bottom bracket lock nut and a crusty but usable skip tooth chain since the two I have are still frozen up.

Re: Rust-DX- A true faux-tina build
I am digging this build. Those BOA's look great along with the finish on the parts. I also like the fat chainguard, that is why I did it on my Excelsior viewtopic.php?f=60&t=43733

Re: Rust-DX- A true faux-tina build
Looks awesome! The chain guard is the only non Schwinn part I have used on the bike (aside from the tires). I am going to ditch the S seat for either a new Brooks or a well used leather saddle.

Re: Rust-DX- A true faux-tina build
My chain came in the mail today and some deeper searching through parts bins turned up the missing lock nut. I finished pitying the bike together and went for a ride around town. I would share the pics, but I have to wait on the wifey to finish on the computer. : roll:
The bike rides great. The gearing is a bit higher than I like, but that is just me. I need to ride it a bit more to decide if I want to keep it or not...
