Nice! I wish I had a garage full of ol' 2 speed kick-backs like I had growing up..... What manufacturer & color did you use for the green?

Thanks,

I'm digg'n the badge and the kickback. Is it the overdrive? I laced one onto my Duce they still are a great idea. Great build!

 

[herr_rudolf]

cool build. I love the red details..

 

[DesignIt]

Very cool build with great photography to back it up. You also have the most beautiful "neighborhood" I've ever seen.

[john.torress]

is Schwinn a brand? how it is related to GI Joe?

 

[deorman]

:shock: It's hard to believe someone in the English speaking world never heard of Schwinn bicycles. :?
The relationship here is olive drab.

 

[stretch]

Why can't I see the bike?

Beautiful brass Schwinn head badge, pulled right out of the remnant of the war aftermath.

My life is now fufilled. Rat Rod Bike Build Off 4, After a hasty venture down to the bicycle boneyard, 6 feet under, I have made the most difficult decision of my life. A Schwinn Panther straight bar with the theme "G I JOE"

The bike will be adorned with Krylon army green. Next, pick out the parts I'm going to use. A Schwinn Phantom crank with a 2 speed Bendix hub laced to original Schwinn S2 rims. Bolt on a rear rack some struts on the front and see what happens. Stay tuned. Cheers!

The G I JOE camo works well, can you see the bike?
Chain guard and rear rack almost ready. Schwinn original S2 wheels are painted in Grey with new spokes laced to a two speed kick back.

The frame is painted camo just doesn't show up very good in the shade. Stay tuned....

Finally complete, enjoy
