seems like i was going to take a longer break from bike building,but this one keeps calling my name! :roll: not really a big schwinn fan,but when i dug this outta the back of the pile,it was in much better shape than i had remembered. then i scrounged up the fenders that came with it,and had never noticed that they were actually straight and rust free! once i mounted the fenders,i knew it had to be built.
stripped about 80% of the old paint off about 3 wks. ago,then let it sit while i got my flightliner ready for its new owner.i was curious about rear tire room,on the frame,so i threw an old drop center rim/tycoon brick tread combo on it. amazingly,that combo looked under-sized!time to get serious! :wink: back down to the garage,grabbed a new 2.125 rim and a blackwall fat frank.BINGO! still plenty of room,too.now i gotta dig up a headset that will work,and start wrenching!
