just finished this '63 schwinn I've been working on, it had no model decals I could find, so it's a big stingray now, but it's the least enjoyable bike I've ridden
 
I would've gone with a Brooks B-17 and a nice alloy set of drop bars........................................kidding of course. :p

Looks good to me. That's the way whitewall Kenda's look when installed.
 
That would make it ride so much worse
Not that a banana seat is going to be comfortable as it looks like a PITA as it sits. But, lower it, adjust the handlebar to the rear where you can set back in the seat and, no doubt, balance/center that Kenda might help. [maybe]

What is it that makes it the most uncomfortable bike you have ridden? Sitting to far back, bars to high, to much stretched out, forward pedals? I'm just curious. I don't own a banana seat bike so you got me thinking of the ergonomics of them. Allways thought they look comfortable, was just not my thing.

I changed the seat and adjusted some stuff like the bars and wheel and sissy bar, and it rides ALOT better (my ass was just too boney for the solo polo) this bike is now for sale however because of my prewar obsession
