Hi Board
Here is my most recent build. It's a 1970 Schwinn frame that has been stretched two inches and raked. The forks I snagged off a OCC frame in the backyard. Welded some tabs on the forks and the frame to lower and stretch even more. Used some CR500 handle bars left in garage by last roommate (thanks Stan the Man) welded a plate on the end of the kickstand and shaped it like a devils tail. The seat was an old seat that i removed the fabric and padding from then drilled holes in the seat pan to give it an old look. Chopped the stock pipe and ran a custom exhaust line, reusing the stock muffler at both ends. I used a pipe that is called Gastite, it's used in commercial and residential gas line applications. The gas tank, I made out of a hand held propane bottle and polished a 1" brass cap for the gas cap. Through a skyhawk motor in it. Not done with her yet. I'm looking for a old brass lantern top to make a headlight with. Maybe just use a Coleman lantern top and paint it. Anyway thought i would share, I hope you guys and gals like it. Thanks for all the great info I have picked up on this forum. I tried to upload some pics on this thread, not allowed (newbie) You can find them on my other thread. Thanks
