Hey every one..
Just got a classic schwinn frame at the swap meet last sunday, and threw together some parts to see if I should put a motor on it...
The frame is a 1974 schwinn, I stripped most of the paint off and after a few hours of doing that, I threw in the towel and stopped for the day. But as I was looking at it, I had a vision... This vision was to take several parts out of my dad's stash.
First, I dug up a matching wheel set, the front is a 26 with a 2.125 tire and the rear is a 24 with a 2.5 tire. I also picked up some prewar scwhinn handlebars a the swap meet. The forks are 1" triple trees cut down to lower the front of the bike.
I also wanted to say that Headtrama's awesome schwinn builds inspired me to start this project...
Well... I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. Let me know what you think!
