Well i have the next three days off from school so i can finish sanding the frame and get it in primer. And i found a NOS black banana seat from the 70s I gave up om finding a chaingaurd and schwinn fork for it tho :roll:

If ya put a wheelie bar on it ya won't need a fork or a front wheel for it Just a thought

Not much going on over here been busy with the house and kids, so not alot of spare time. Still waiting on my chain hopefully today, then I can make some progreess finishing up in the next few days. Looking forward to my son taking the bike for a spin, no snow yet and fingers crossed it stays that way.
