Look Ma, No Hands!
This is my project bike, a sky blue 1971 Schwinn Deluxe Racer. I bought it for $20 from my friend Gary. Originally, we thought it was a 1962, but today I entered its serial # into a website and it was actually built in May of 1971. However, this might be good news since that model was discontinued in 1971. Who knows, I could have one of the last ones to roll off the assembly line. It needs a nut on the back wheel, 2 new spokes, one on each wheel (which I now have and just need to install), and a rear brake line (plus the front sheath and adapter). Dad and I are looking for the brake line stuff on eBay. Gary also did a little bit of cleaning on the chrome, and I've made a lot more progress on that aspect myself. All in all, a good old bike. What do you think?
