My latest project is a 1968 Schwinn Collegiate that somebody put on the curb. It didn't have brakes, handlebars or pedals when I picked it up and the front tire was shot. So far I have put on some bars and pedals I had laying around and a new front tire. I also started shining up the chrome. Plans are to keep the paint the way it is along with the mismatched tires and start cruisin! I plan to bring the seat further back and I would like to utilize a coaster brake to keep a clean look but I also want to keep the 5 speed.
This is what it looked like when I got it.
This is what I have done so far.
