57' Hornet Resto-Mod

[Schwinny]

Latest finished from the pile of bikes and parts I bought awhile back.
Turned out pretty nice but I may add a tooth in the rear, its a little too much effort for me to pedal up a slight incline.
Only things I had to buy were the decals and paint

Nice, I like the style. Only thing I would change is the springer yoke to a Schwinn.

Thanks!,
Everything there was "free" in the lot of Bikes and parts I bought. Including the Springer fork.
Strange too since there were 5 new, never mounted springers and even though they were all Chinese/Taiwan made, each of them is distinctly different. They also had $35 price tags on them which probably dates them in the 90's.
I dont think the next owner will care too much.

Nice bike! And a tip: I used a red Sharpie felt-tip marker to refresh the fading red lines on my aging Electra Hotster tires. I wish they were still available.

A little pinstripe brush & red oil base works wonders for doing red lines on tires. Same for white walls. Just clean/degrease & go for it
