WOW!! That is a great looking seat.

Thanks for the great idea!! Off to the Army / Navy store. :wink:

Well i had another good day at the local flea market & picked up a set of rusty, bent fork truss rods & a rear basket of unknow origin. A little sanding, tweaking & some olive drab paint and now it's a bagger. :mrgreen: I've just got to figure out something to do with that UGLY seat??

NICE bike!!

Cool bike.

Thanks for the kind words guys & i'm glad you like the bike. I'm having a blast riding it again.

The red anodized parts do have a nice look to them but i needed a change. Resale value really doesn't matter to me as this bike will NEVER be for sale. :wink:

The rims & hubs where in nice shape but the spokes where looking a little tired so i just sprayed them flat black. I like this yellow & black look ALOT more than the original yellow & red..... i guess my taste has changed over the years.

I'm not sure?? I bought the frame when i was a kid & built it up as a single speed with BMX components. You weren't KOOL in Southern California if you weren't riding one. :)

Here is a pic & some details on my Army themed cruiser. It is a 26" Greenline cruiser frame & forks, Black alloy 26" rims with Kenda flame tires, Black Mongoose stem with Black CW Cruiser bars, cheapy BMX grips with both ends cut off, Olive drab bike bell on bars, 180mm BMX cranks with Redline...

Re: fl. I'm in Cocoa Florida. Here is a pic of my 1981 Schwinn i purchased new in San Diego & built up with red anodized BMX parts & tires. I just pulled it out of my parents shed & hope to get it on the road again. The search for parts has begun.

No i haven't seen any of the other Army bikes yet.

I just wanted to say HI after stumbling onto this KOOL site while looking for parts for my 1981 Schwinn. There are some GREAT bikes on this site & you all have inspired me to bring my old Schwinn back to it's former glory. Here is a pic of my daily rider. It's a Greenline 26" Army cruiser...
