The start for my build is a 52 Schwinn straight bar frame. The name is because i'm a cowboy at heart, you'll find me pedaling this thing in cowboy boots and wranglers. This my first build so give me input as i go along here. This is what she looked like as of the 4th of May>

Here's the springer and lights i have. I have another headlight in the works so this one may end up on my wife's bike but the tail light is a marker light with a home made LED set up.

Other plans include raking the fork by flipping the headset bracket upside down and bending it nearly 90 degrees, i just need a shorter bolt and i may trim the spring a bit, i'll have some mock up pics later this week.
