Wore out three sets of tires already!
Picked up this rusty middleweight Tornado several months back, finally figured out what had to happen to it.
Rear wheel is a 24" S-2, tires is a Dyno 3" fatty. Rear fender is a wide heavyweight, it fit with just a touch of persuasion. Clearance for rear tire is tight, even with spreading the stays a bit. Rear hub is Bendix smooth shell with a 22 tooth cog. Schwinn springer up front with a heavy duty laced S-7 with the tall 50s style front hub. Going for a bit of that skinny front wheel T-bucket look.
Still debating whether to add the front fender and chainguard. For the initial mock-up I tossed them on, but for the final build I left them off.
A few more pics of the mock-up on my site.
Cheers, Geoff
