Another Schwinn week

I did some tinkering this week and built a bike around these 1890's steer horn handlebars.
Got pretty close to the only image I know of showing a comparable set of custom steer horn bars in use.

I also got some time to work more on dismantling and cleaning this Orient chainless rear end which started life identical to the model that Major Taylor rode and helped to popularize. It will take some work for sure but it's worth the complete rebuild / restore eventually.
