That cleaned up great! Just the right amount of shiny!

Those big tires and wheels look great with that natural patina. Sweet ride![emoji106] [emoji106]

The location of that bell..Absolute genius! The bending of that basket back to original..Perfection. The RRB plate on the front...Doodadery at its best!


In reality I'm a little jealous, $80....Nice score. A bike that is a TRUE RAT, the essence of this site.

Really like those Jack Rabbit tires on the fat chrome rims! Great compliment of new parts added to a very rust-ifying original patina!

Nice work!

When Schwinn's rust, they rust ! .

Awesome look you got going with this one. The patina and the rims really compliment each other.

I have literally the PERFECT girls Hornet match to this bike - in "as found" condition still sporting nearly the exact same patina - if you have the hankering to add an accompanying ride for a lady friend. I actually have two of them and have not touched either of them yet.

What type of wheels are those and where did they come from? A set similar to those would be perfect for my Spaceliner project.

Felt cruiser wheels. The set came from site sponsor Clyde James.

ARE YOU KIDDING?!? YOU CAME OUT OF NO WHERE AND FINISHED A SWEET BIKE. THE TIRES CAP IT OFF!!

The perfect fade of the patina is the top of the fork crown into the fork. That's a tough one to faux.
I like it.
