i bought this speedster for a buck at an auction.
actually i didnt know it was a speedster just a schwinn
I saw the flamboyant green paint sticking out from the heavy yellow top coat and thought I would try stripper and a power washer. not alot left of the green but way better than the yellow! and the speedster on the chain guard showed up!.
then I added a nice pair of s7 wheels and a ratty banana seat and tall bar and last but not least a generator light set incase i stay a little too long at the local pub!

picked up a decent 2 speed wheelset for this bike and added an old cadet speedo
and gave it a new name Southside Speedster :)
