Hi killer, thank you... well its not mounted yet, the rear mount is two of the little blocks from the kits back to back, for the front i have ordered some billit aluminium mounts from a buggy supply place that i hope to use.... have not received them yet though... got no machining capabilities here but want something clean with a factory look, that works ......weld

That's looking real sharp....beautiful red! I've got a buddy who has an old vintage Schwinn seat with the white "S" and nose and may be willing to sell or trade it. The thing weighs a ton. If you're interested, PM me and I'll contact him....cheers.
 
Hi scotto, thanks.... well i've been pretty busy so have'nt been posting much, found some S7 rims in decent shape and relaced the 2 speed hub and replaced the front wheel last night.. got a 60's S seat tossed in on the deal in rough shape but free...the guy told me how he restores them so i'll give it a shot,but thanks anyway..might contact you later if it does not work out... got a really cool 60's SW speedo in the deal too ...probably will end up on my daily rider though:). I found a local bike shop that has the 26 X 2 X 1.75 WW tires for the S7 rim for 17 dollars each so will pick those up friday when i get paid...should have more pics of it "finished" by the weekend sometime....David
