Well I just had to show somebody brnot....got it finished enough to ride today, but still looking for some rims for 1.75 tires...and a more appropriate seat....love the 2 speed kickback hub though,low gear makes it real easy to get going and start, and the brakes in this hub have a series of discs , like a wet clutch or something.... it works much better than a std. coaster....also has much larger bearings than a coaster hub. Anyway its taken about a week so far to build, mostly in the refurbishing and paint...

update:its thursday and i found some vintage S7 rims, relaced the rear hub, changed the front wheel...will have finished pics soon.... waiting for tires now....

My dad still has his old Schwinn Corvette. I was drooling over that bike when I was little. I still like 'em. They're a good solid cruiser.
