[Onewheelsqueel]

nothing fancy...but FUN!

I think I've finally figured out what to do with my free Varsity and free Trek 820. Thanks for the inspiration.

I have been super happy with my 1995 repro Schwinn too.
I chose it because of the cantilever brake mounts.
I really have an issue with the seatpost though. Im tall and it has to be run out far so it always bends.

I too chose it because of the cantilever brakes. Currently mine has a Nexus 3 coaster brake, but I recently ordered the Nexus 3 w/o a brake.

I like your setup. Are those bars Kos Kruiser knockoffs?

 

[El Duderino]

Yes they are. I bought them on Ebay. I liked the shape and you cant go wrong with a 4130 Chromoly tubing. They are called Als Rapid Transit i think. My 41 DX will have a pair of chrome ones.

A thing to think about... This Schwinn frame has a ....... ass headset size and you can shave down a 1' thread-less headset cups and run a 1 1/8 fork. I havent gotten that far but Ive seen it done on another forum.

Ive got a 95 repro Schwinn suburban which Im building because its got an English BB and will take a 25.4 seatpost. That way I can jack the post up.

 

[klunkerbill]

Here's my repro Klunk. It's based on a Gary Fisher '96 Klunker, but since it came with GripShift, lousy bars, levers, etc. I tried to straighten it out. I can't always ride my '35, but I can beat this one up and not feel guilty.

 

[Rat Rod]

Looks really nice Bill...love the red!

Here's my American Flyer badged 1952 Schwinn.
