More Spring Cleaning

-
Ok, admittedly "fall" now - changing leaves and a Schwinn Racer 3-speed.

Winter cleaning... routine maintenance and adding LED lights to a couple of bikes: 1960s Schwinn Racer and 1950 Schwinn Superior. On the red Racer, I converted the bars from the all-purpose cruiser type bars to the Schwinn north road style. The red Racer also got a new kickstand spring retaining pin, which tightened it up nicely.

Looks like the 23" frame. Don't seem to see many of those in the 26" wheeled bikes.
The brown leather saddle is very handsome on the black bike, and I imagine a good deal more comfortable than the original.
 
Last of the shakedown rides for the 1964 Schwinn Traveler. There is always that last set of little adjustments you can only make after you know how it rides. The brakes need just a little adjustment and the headset just a little tightening. But it came together pretty well.
