    1954 Schwinn Corvette bobber

    The bike turned out pretty good. I stuffed it all together in a day or two threw it in the car and drove about 250 miles and showed it at the Cape Coral Mall, then threw it back in the car and took it on a community night ride through dirt, grass, and horse fields with no problems. Pretty much...

    1954 Schwinn Corvette bobber

    Here's a pic of my latest creation. It's pretty much all real Schwinn aside from the tires and one or two nuts and bolts.

    HEY ......KUSTOMKARMA !!!!! S-2 Rims on E bay.

    Hey thanks for the suggestions, but I've got it figured out. I ended up going with the original bent rim which I cleaned and tweaked until it was usable. My girl is dropping it off for me today at the LBS so it can have a '71 Bendix 2 speed hub spoked to it. I am working full bore to get this...

    ***SCHWINN S-2 WHEEL OR RIM NEEDED ASAP - PLEASE HELP***

    Thanks for the advice, but all joking aside. I am going to despoke the wheel today and see if it can be salvaged. As for finding anything in a dumpster or in the dump - that's a moot point around here as it's illegal. The dump actually has signs that prohibit scavenging. Its the same for car...

    ***SCHWINN S-2 WHEEL OR RIM NEEDED ASAP - PLEASE HELP***

    I would go to the Lord's LBS and beg for forgiveness. I would get down on my knees and ask him to repair my wretched and twisted wheel. I would use his power to make all right in the world. But I fear that the demons down below have too strong a grip on this hoop - a battle between all that is...

    1977 Schwinn Speedster (Spike)

    I agree, I figured this look out purely by accident when my girlfriend and I were sticking stuff together in the garage one day. This frame is a good size for me too being just a little smaller than a cantilever.
