I hear you! I’m definitely no expert, But I’ve been told since it’s the same bike but for decals, apparently what was key at the time was not the catalogue, but the rider who was endorsing the bike, and when he left they stoped using KOS decals. My decals are original, and the frame is stamped Jan 82. Who knows? But let’s be clear: we’ve all seen that catalogues aren’t the last word, and bike production anomalies are all over the place.

The schwinn speedster is a mix of a few new parts with all the vintage stuff.the 1 1/8 threadless conversion was done by machining out the schwinn cups for cartridge bearings.the fork is from an early 2000 se racing fixie.700c and narrower at the top than landing gear.i cut the dropout and moved the wheel up to a 26" position.not a landing gear really,i just put the decals on sincethe bottom is cut like em.the stem is the long reach redline hollow point.not the same as the one that comes on the pl26 or sqb26.topped off with some 70s tomaselli motocross bars i widened to a 35" span.low ,short and good handling.its like an old bmx race cruiser the way it rides

I love those bars, nice job cutting the dropouts, looks clean.
