Here's my next project... A 1950 Schwinn lowrider.
I don't know how I'm gonna change it around yet, but it's gonna be cool!(^)
I'll post more pics...

Checked out your site very cool I used to live in marina del ray and I bought a phat cycle when I was there. Just put my frist motor in at the begining of the mounth and I used the phat. Hey do you sell those front disk brakes I would love one. And what is that on the down tube looks like a jocky shift, is that schwinn or something you put on ?

I actually changed the rear wheel to one with 5-speeds & a freewheel... this bike doesn't have any brake on the rear at the moment.

There is a thread on here about mounting the sprocket on coaster brakes... I'm just not slick enough to put the link right here for you...
