Here’s the start to my build - 1951 straight bar.
I grew up riding Schwinn bikes and love the old school cruisers.
This will be my first bicycle restoration, so I open to suggestions and comments. (Please go easy on me)
eBay frame buy $158, I checked all the welds on the frame, all were good except a small stress crack at bottom bar in front of cranks, I had it repaired.
I just had the frame powder coated , and still picking up parts to move my project forward.
I am trying to keep as many of the part from the early 50’s but finding it difficult to find parts or parts that the seller is not over charging, I may mix in some repop parts if good Schwinn approved parts, Any Thoughts?
