Finally riding a big boys bike
Well, Schwinn's nor middleweights are really my thing. However, this one was in the scrap bin at the local co-op. Couldn't let that happen. So I grabbed it, free of charge. Should have taken before pics, didn't even think of it.
Frame was spray painted green. Although it's not really worth the effort, I couldn't resist seeing what was under it.
This is what I ended up with. Threw on a set of chrome yellow band S7's with nos tires (one is a Perelli). Rat trap from a spaceliner and a seat. All from the garage stash.
OG fork is bent, will straighten later. Painted S7's are painted over. May clean them up and re-lace with a red band kickback (maybe, who knows). OG seat is rubber and yellowed. Anyway to bring those back? And finally the fenders are factory green, not sure what make they're from.
Not sure what to do with it. I'm more of a prewar rat person. May give it to a friend.
