Rust2Rods Schwinn VW Tribute Bike - Completed

[Rust2Rods]

Well the last of the parts came in, I did the final assembly. New chain, pedals, got the seat installed, shortened the chain by 4 links and took it for a ride shortly after shooting the photos. Did a quick 5 mile trip to the Lake Michigan Beach near my home through a county park called Grant Park (killer hills though) The gearing is a little tall for the hills, but it moves well. Rides really smooth.... So here are the final shots. I am going to call it finished....

Here's a link to the build...

I love that you pulled off a VW tribute without putting any (that I see) VW emblems on it. It's great.

 

[Heavy Pedal]
