Macarggi turned Schwinn

[schwinnster]

Hello Cavers, here is my take on a schwinn racer. Took a Macarggi frame sprayed it a copper color and assembled it with schwinn parts. Just hoping to get some white grips and a Coppertone schwinn seat soon.

Pretty convincing at first glance!

What paint did you use, looks great.

That looks great! I feel for the guy who scores that at your garage sale in 20yrs and tries to ID it tho...

Thanks, I used a recipe I found by a caver. Used a silver primer as a base, then sprayed with SP 404 gold flake then sprayed SP 402 burnt copper, you can find these in Autozone.

Right! I think it will be a score of parts like you said no score on frame .....

Micargi makes great cruisers. Mountain bikes not so much. Neat build!
