Ok, so I bought a bike. I already posted about it in the Schwinn forum. But I'm going custom with it so i'm coming here.
Here's the 1st post with pics and info. http://thecabe.com/vbulletin/showth...e-forum-new-to-bikes-Starting-with-57-Schwinn
I know I want new wheels/paint. Have a painter "semi" lined up. Started looking at wheels on ebay tonight but don't know if I need to worry about hubs, or sizes (guessing 20" to 24"?)
Don't know if I should keep the bars I have and get them dipped/powder coated.
Don't know anything about the crank set up. Keep and refurbish existing, just put new pedals on? Or is there an alternative on the market that is better/easier?
Have to figure out if i want to keep the original seat and restore or strip it and clean it? Or new one.
Btw, looking to go springer front on it. Any guidance there would be appreciated also. Found a few new/custom on ebay.
I'm completely rookie on this. yes I am that guy that knows nothing, Sorry.
