will be built for this kbbo. My little test rider is going to build the large frame while I build the small one.
so I started digging through the pile for parts now that the snow has melted away I think I can put a bike together from this pile :roll:
I am trying to decide on a fork , these are both NOS replacements forks I have a few of these I picked up some time back from my l.b.s
I hope to do some work on it this w/e

that is tough...the top one is more slimline...kind of give you more gracious lines+ a lower bike maybe
hey, that blue frame, the tandem, you want to sell it, if so how much?

Dingo the blade fork is what should be on this bike but I think I want a different look, I am thinking muscle bike with a 20/16 wheel combo.
Outlaw the tandem is my daughters project she is getting it ready for paint...I want to cut it up for a stretch chopper :mrgreen:

Good point, The chrome fork does give it more of a muscle feelSchwinnspastic said:
Father and daughter building side by side! Your a "lucky" man. Can't wait to see both results! 8)
rear wheel together I started with a slighly rusty dirty Komet Super hub and a pre laced front wheel
after a couple hours disassembly , cleaning, regreasing and relacing this is the end result
I forgot how smooth the Komet hubs were, this wheel should do the trick.
Now for a front wheel hmmmm
Kota that daughter of mine is a chip off the old block she likes everything I like...Great kid and real smart.

Just do it. Use Sheldon's and Hugos tutorials. Plus for a rat/coaster brake, it doesn't have to be perfect.

Wow... That is a nice looking frame!!! Those Scramblers are pretty rare nowdays. Great build and good luck. Thanks!!!
I tossed a few more parts on and gave the bike a test ride....cool like 1977 all over again and what a wheelie machine I almost bailed on it
a couple times so here it is ridable
the back wheel is so smooth with the komet hub and the gear work really good on this little ray
My wife thought I was having too much fun so she had to take it for a spin
I still have a few things to do to this bike but I really like it in old school bmx fashion

Old school bmx rules. I'm 44 and that bring's back memories. I may have to build somrthing like that now. I like it!
That's a great lookin' bike! Schwinn BMX!!
Thanks for all the comments guys....I let Rachael rob the seat from this bike and I have had a full plate lately so I will have to finish
