Finally riding a big boys bike
Love chrome bikes so found this fairly nice Schwinn Voyageur in chrome and took it home. It looked ok but bearings were notchy and clear coat was hazy and flaking off the chrome so I decided to do a full restore and try for good as new.
You have to start some where so stripped all the goodies off the frame. The frame was nice, straight and not beat up but needed to be stripped.
This is my go to remover, and of course, some heavy steel wool and hours and hours of messy fun stuff.
Here is the frame with all the go brushed on. Just wait and hour and start scraping.
And the result, finally.
Next you know what comes. Finding, buying or making that perfect part. Days of assembly and wondering why the post office lost your cool tires you ordered.
