My 1936 Schwinn C project

[Pongo]

So I got this frame last fall. It was damaged pretty well, top of the seat post was broken off. Luckily had a donor frame section and a handy buddy who brazed it up.

Found a fork and trust rod setup at a swap this summer. It was off a ladies bike, so I threaded it and cut it, painted it black.

Worked on fitting the truss rods tonight, got a bit to do yet on that.

Rebuilt the New Departure D hub over the past weekend and cleaned back wheel. The wheel was painted and rusty, o
Wish I had taken before pics.

More.to come!

That fork cleaned up real nice! lol

Cool project and glad you were able to get the frame repaired.

The whole project looks to be coming together very nicely. Hookworms are a nice addition too.

Thank you. Those hookworms are huge, if I had fenders I wouldn't be able to use them.

Thanks. I normally don't like to repaint anything, but it was solid rust. Rust isn't a color in my book lol.

Thought I would try to paint the fancy dart on the fork. Made my own stencil and airbrushed it on. Not perfect, but was fun to do and I can always redo it if I change my mind.

More work tonight. Distressed the new paint from last night. Blends in a bit better.
