Chopped Cantilever

[aka_locojoe]

Unknown frame. Looked to be a Schwinn but I couldn't find a serial # anywhere. This one was chopped and lowered a bit. The cantilever tubes were cut loose where they attached at the top and down tube. The seat tube was then pulled back as far as the fender mount. Then welded everyting back. The cantilever tubes now protruding past the down tube were cut off. Installed shorter crank so it wouldn't scrape.

Brilliant and simple frame modification. It's barely noticeable, yet it makes the bike! Great work.
