Perfect Patina Matches

[jpromo]

I knew about this Snyder build Hawthorne Twin Bar for a while...but it wasn't for sale. I had a feeling I'd end up with it someday, so when a buddy picked up the correct missing Delta Zep fender light at a local swap, I had to get it. Sure enough 3 months later the bike became available & I reunited them

Oh man, I am looking for a blue Zep light (and rack) for my twin as well. I have a minty black on there as a placeholder if anybody knows of a blue one.

Im a huge patina freak and have a large handful of bikes slowly being pieced together as I find items.
Here is a quick one I did in a few days that, believe it or not, started as basically a frame, fork and crank set. The black patina fenders from my collection literally look like they've never left the bike since day one. Everything I added to the bike is an original Schwinn part as well....

Thank you again for playing! Lol!

Wheels.

Which tires are those in the "wheels only" pic?

That's a good question @bloo! I have no idea, sorry. There were no markings other than the size (26"x2.35")& inflation parameters. Looked/felt pretty heavy duty. Too bad I couldn't get them to fit in the fenders and had to use Fat Franks in the same size that fit without issue. The tread wrapping around the side makes them a bit wider. Gave them to my friend @jlively970 to use on a similar bike & it looks fantastic!! I believe they are takeoff tires from possibly an Electra I picked up from a LBS.

This tomahawk stem somehow lasted long enough on eBay for me to analyze whether or not I "needed" it. Once I noticed that one side had more patina than the other and I had a bike with a perfect patina match I pulled the trigger.

I think it is a perfect patina match!
