    A Quick Rat For My Son...

    Sunday Evening Rat

    I got this 1957 Schwinn from a co-worker yesterday (Saturday) and I wanted to get it rideable. The guy I bought it from said "for some reason the rear tire keeps going flat..." As it turned out, several of the spokes were run past the nipples and had shredded the tube. :roll: So rather than...
