Schwinn Collection

[BossHydro]

These are some Schwinn Bikes I have been able to collect and refurbish in the past two years. They don't have any major frame mods done to them. These builds were done with the least amount of money in mind...free.

1st Bike. 1962 Stingray Red

Got this bike from a tattoo artist in town named "stingray" He also sold me a tricycle add on kit.

2nd Bike. Cruiser Black

Former roommate left this one in the garage. So i put love into it and a banana seat.

3rd Bike. Collegiate

Two speed bendix yellow hub used.

always like the old schwinns for some reason, especially from the 50's, 60's and even 70's and early 80's. the second bike in the picts is another reason i should find a bannana seat and sissy bars for one of my rides. at 6'2", they make a little 20" ridable, so they'd probably make a full size feel like a cadillac. nice rides.

The black beauty in the pics above/ Wanted to put a little more rat into her...
Pegs on the back. They are shiny and I could carry someone light down hill for fun.
Worked on a retro light upgrade. Put a single led into the top of older light. With a few simple tools
*Duct Tape *Box Cutter *Hack Saw... Was an easy project. Also changed the tires to black electra somethings?
To keep the basket from dropping down on the light i just found some old bike fittings like bolts and such.
Wanted to hold the basket and other things too.
