Super cool !

That is super rad! How much is Schwinn, how much is TT? Did you bring it to them to do it, or did you have to attach the section yourself?

Edit: erp nevermind, found the build thread. Thanks!

Thanks! Yeah it came out better than expected.

That is cool, it is an inspiration for a build I am starting, just dropped my straight bar off with Santa Barbara Cruisers (local for me) to have a looptail rear end put on.

Definitely. Haven’t gotten the frame back yet, I knew it might take a while and I told him I was in no rush, but I am hopping he is done soon... I am going to use a NOS Ashtabula fork for now, build might evolve over time...

awesome result mate. The TT rear triangle addresses the weakness in the original design.
