🤣 Just as the prophecy foretold! Thanks! I've been itching to use that fauxtina technique at some point again myself.

I'll save you the search. Click on the link and scroll down from there.

Thanks OddJob! I'm looking forward to finally getting this Schwinn done!

Just when I thought I was out, you guys dragged me back in. 🤣 In all seriousness though, I'm glad I was able to participate in the Build Off with one of my unfinished projects. Thanks! Funny thing about those paperboy bars: they're actually from my Columbia/Western Flyer Newsboy Special...

Awesome video! I'll have to check out more of her stuff! And now I really want to build a swing bike from my junk frames... Thank you! Thanks! 🤣 Haha, no, that's just all the weeds compensating for the Bermuda grass! Thanks Marshall! Sweet, I'll have to check it out!

That tank turned out FANTASTIC! If I didn't know any better, I'd say it was an old metal tank!

Thanks Pondo! Mind if I borrow that?

I normally prefer bike tanks inside the frames, but holy cow, that tank next to the nanner looks AWESOME! I think it's got potential!

My entry for this year's Build Off is the very first bike that got me into this hobby 6 years ago: my 1950 Schwinn DX I won at an auction for $65. It's gone by a few names and gone through a few build threads over the years, but not once in those 6 years have I been able to complete it. For...

Thanks!

I'm a bit biased towards Murrays, but that JC Higgins has awesome character to it! Still, I think that Murray would make for a great BMX/klunker/standie build, so either way, I think you've got 2 good candidates there!

My first build was a bare metal bike! In fact, because I made Dumpster Diamond bare metal, that changed my original plan for that Schwinn. I only had like 5 bikes back then, so I wasn't too keen on having 2 bare metal bikes at the time. Now that I have WAY more bikes than I did back in 2020, I...

Oh I definitely suffer from analysis paralysis on a regular basis. It practically comes standard when you have both ADHD and OCD like me. I think going bare metal with black or brown accents will be my "good enough" plan for this bike. The frame and fenders are dented anyway, so to cover that...

Thank you! I'll admit that I'm not the biggest fan of Schwinn step-thru frames, but if you build them up right, they can turn out pretty sweet! Yeah, it's a ton of fun resurrecting bikes that have been thrown by the wayside. Awesome! That's a good-looking Schwinn right there! Love that you get...

Thank you!
