schwinn straight bar gallery

I know it’s a little out of context, but, it is a Schwinn with straight bars (actually, inverted “mustache bars”) :!:

2006 Schwinn Manta-Ray converted into a “zipper” (a muscle bike with handlebars equal to, or, lower then, seat height).

Fortunately, that was just a temporary set-up; she was really uncomfortable to ride.

This is what she looks like today – somewhat.

My latest build. '57 Flying Star.

Just picked up this DX Pioneer. Gave it a navel jelly treatment to get rid a ton of surface rust. The tires hold air and I gave it a ride. Smooth as silk and not a sqeek. May just grease the bearings, pound out a few tank and fender dents, and get new grips and run it.

Thanks, unfortunately this bike donated a seatpost, stem, handlebars and rims to the 37 Admiral a couple of posts up for RRBBO8.

Your 51 is a real classiy looking straight bar

Thanks for the possitive words 'socal_jack".. I like to keep my bikes simple and yet with attitude and classy too.
Yeah the new cruiser look so KOOL. and yet I still like the old cruiser also.. You still planning to do something to the black cruiser.? What rear hub is that on the black cruiser and what tires did you use on the Admiral.? looking for some BMX looking tires for a project that I'm going to start here some time soon.. A 26" BMX cruiser Old Skool Style.!!!

The rear hub was a Nexus 7( more trouble than they are worth IMO, probably have a few of those up for sale soon) laced a single speed coaster hub in for the Admiral(front hub re-laced also), like to keep things simple myself. The tires on the Admiral are Specialized Rollers discontinued a long time ago, picked them up in an LBS closeout bin like 10 years ago. The tires on the black bike are Maxxis Holy Rollers worth a look for sort of BMX style look (Kenda K-Rads are another) both nice and fat.

Thanks.. I appreciate the info.. Yeah was looking at those K-Rads but I'm kinda looking for some Old Skool knobby style tires. They'll pop up some where, just have to keep on looking..
