1951 Schwinn BA-607 "B6" bring back from the dead...

[bobcycles]

Most enjoyable trip for me is the 'bring back' of dead or housepainted, rusted or pieced together
bikes where the only way to go is Up.
Cobalt Blue / Robins Egg with the optional Chrome spring fork that appears in Schwinn catalogs as
available for 'extra cost'. S-2 wheels that chrome plated nicely, NOS tires and original NOS Delta
Schwinn taillight... full rechrome, nickel and cad of all bright work and automotive paint, 100% restore.
I'm always amazed looking at any restored bike and picturing the kids often barely able to
climb aboard these 60+ pound monsters, cruising these beasts back in the day.

Black wall tires on this bike somehow, seem right!

The before pix wouldn't amount to much...just an assemblage of housepainted, surface rusted, or "not pretty" parts
from a variety of other bikes from this year window...
Bike was not a complete original in tact when the project started...
imagine a rough looking pile of parts...rainbow of colors and rust, not much resale value ..lol

Bob, one hell of a nicely restored bike! Almost makes me think differently about owning more of them. The colors are stunning!

Nicely done! another one that gets to live on and be appreciated.

Well, the last time I attempted to compliment one of your fantastic restorations, it started a s#!+ storm that I still can’t quite comprehend.
So, this time, I’ll just simply say,
Spectacular!
