Finally riding a big boys bike
Got my 41 Schwinn almost completed...just have to do the fenders which will require a lot of work so decided to get everything else assembled so I could do some riding on it...and may use the chain guard as well ...when I got the bike it had a crappy paint job plus other issues..I painted the frame a nice gold colour..painted the crank and chainwheel..handlebar stem...truss rods...fender braces and forks and handlebars..replaced the pedals and tires and laced newer used chrome rims to the skiptooth hubs..
I disassembled the original seat...cleaned and painted the parts and recovered with nice leather...I was able to reuse the under padding as it was still in great condition..I put on brooks leather wrap for the grips....took it for a test ride and it rides super smooth...I love the schwalbe tires..I’m quite happy with the results so far..I will sell the old rims and pedals if anyone wants them...
