I know I know it's last year's bike.

This is just my kid's rider. We entered it last year and got it to here.
1968 Schwinn Stingray Junior frame with Fairlady wing tip guard. 18" Person's repro smoothie. 20" Schwinn mountain bike donor. 7-speed, v-brakes, varsity sprocket.
Needs a tear-down, paint/make-over.
Not much of a makeover though he says it's perfect. I've ridden it. It's sweet. Best stopping power of any bike in the house. It's got a trigger shift that works great.
I may dis-assemble the wheels and polish the hoops for a feat of strength. I have a charcoal Krate Pete seat kit on the way.
He did a walkaround vid and took pics yesterday before we went for a ride.
Then he took a pic of it in one of his pic spots.
Here's my pic from yesterday.
You guys are in for a treat because he said he'll take the pics. He's pretty good with the pics.
No work planned yet. He doesn't want this down very long...gotta get decals and figure out logistics for quick strip/teardown and paint.
If we don't get to it for some reason you guys will see it in the winter unfinished build off....
