I live for the CABE
A familiar face returned home tonight. This frameset (right, closest) is all that remains of the complete bike I once had, (see the first post of page six here: https://thecabe.com/forum/threads/schwinn-king-size-registry-research-project.126932/page-6) the bike itself stopped by a set of pitted front hub cones of all things!
I toiled for months to find the right parts for that dang Union front hub to no avail. Eventually, I parted the bike out (some KS specific stuff went to @KingSized HD) and gave the frameset to a tall friend who wanted to build a klunker. Life happens - he never got around to it so he offered it back to me as he's about to move out west. The plan is to take the nicest frame and fork of the two to finish my stock build (they're both '65s) and take the rougher frameset to build a custom klunker ala @Dizzle Problems for cruising and light singletrack.
@irideiam could I please get this frameset added? I see we missed it before. SN BA72868, 2/26/1965 KSHD
