Schwinn Aerovane build

[HOOSIERCYCLES]

I couldn't resist a Cruiser build when I saw The Aerovane Review, the frame is perfect old school look, Kept frame ditched everything else, wanted to do cheap and easy, sunlite fork direct swap, Porkchop's diapcomp stem, motorcross cruiser bars, Porkchops diacomp caliper brakes, made extension for rear, 80's MTB wheel set, converted BB to euro, Sugino RT crank, 5 finger brake levers I am under $350 including Bike purchase

Looks good! I have a couple of Wally cruisers still in the box that are waiting conversion. One will go big bmx cruiser (Millenium), and the other is destined for, probably a short-lived life as a, downhill mountain bike (Swindler).

Robertk I made a extension out of flat stock, brazed a stud to it, copied a design of an extension on Sheldon Brown's web site
