So I picked up this bike a couple of weeks ago its a 1954 Schwinn Flying Star its all there the only thing it needed was a new rear tube and a good cleaning.
But the reason I wanted this bike was for a project ive been wanting to do for a very long time, a vintage clunker. I have already built a clunker inspired bike off an old straight bar frame but Ive wanted to do build am era correct clunker so here is my jumping off point
