'66 Schwinn Twinn build

[SchwinnSchwing]

Picked this 66 up for $45 last month. Tore it down right away. Color is going to be gray primer with red rims & white tires. Going to do some light custom stuff as well. Got some white pedals & white & silver chains on the way now. Almost finished sanding the frame down to paint it

Oh I love when the creative juices flow. Decided to rotate the rear fender back & down so it sits almost on the ground. Had to remove & move the fender stay brackets. One was too short in the new position but the one from the front fender was the perfect length where I need to mount it.

Was originally going to use the stock Twinn front fork on this one but decided to go springer since it was given to me & already has a fender I can use. The front fender on the twinn had a big hole from the mounting screw pulling through. Just have to paint it so it's no longer PINK

I like your choice of passion Schwing, tandems are the bong!

I was sitting there & noticed that front fender staring at me that I wasn't going to use. I figured why not fill back in the 12 or so inches I rotated the rear fender. So I cut that thing down & will have basically 2/3 of the wheel fendered. The cool part is they'll overlap right at the fender mounting crossbar in the frame so it'll look like 1 fender without having to weld anything. Winner winner chicken dinner

So you're saying all that and a chicken dinner? Too much!

Sadly a still need a THIRD chain since it's a twin. Wish someone made bike chains with more than 112 links
