Been wanting another straightbar frame to run as a fenderless build, so this project is off and running. Have Fat Franks mounted on the S2’s but got these 26x3.0 huge tires from a friend yesterday. The Franks work well in this situation but not sure if this frame and fork will allow enough room for a 3” wide tire...guess we’ll see.View attachment 1027372

They might fit if you have a wide fork. Other wise you might have to swap forks. Good luck. Razin.
 
Sharp!

Schwinn sure was making some nice looking joints back in 55. My only suggestion is dump those reflector pedals and slap on a pair of Union large cap rat traps. Those would look killer on a bare frame build IMO.
