1968 Coppertone

[coasterbrakejunkie1969]

I finally got my hands on this original paint coppertone frame,fork and guard from @Balloontyre I had been pestering him about. I had the rest of the parts stashed and it really came together nice. I had sold a couple of my other Stingrays not too long ago and have been wanting a keeper to replace them, nailed it! All that is left to do @Lonestar is a safety meeting and a ride.

That thing needs a pole strapped to the sissy bar with a raccoon or a fox tail on it.

I have flipped flopped between WW and fenders and fender less BW. I'm thinking of investing in an originla set of Schwinn WW and wanted to make sure it is what I want so I mounted some aftermarket tires. I like it and I'm going to keep it Deluxe. I added some accessories in the last few weeks, the headlight and vintage bike lock. I have a plenty of other bikes to ride so this one just comes out to show off every so often

I finally tracked down a set of vintage WWs for my 1968 Deluxe not '68 dated tires but close enough '69 rear and '72 front. This bike is getting there piece by piece. They look so much better then the modern ones. I also found a set for my 1972 Fair Lady again not exactly correct but the WWs look so good on this bike against the Burgundy and chrome.
