I have an old 27" wheelset from a schwinn varsity you can HAVE if you pay for shipping... the rear would need it's freewheel 5speed removed and then dished if you were going to do single speed, and they're kinda rusty, but I've tried cleaning them up and it seems to come off no problem.

28" wheels would look way cooler though.

i do appreciate the offer but im gonna use singletube 28's no matter how long it takes....if it doesnt happen before the deadline...oh well! ill still build her right(at least in my mind)after this is over


man....... guess i gotta take some more pics sometime huh?
 
from what ive heard and read you can get the new 29er mtb wheels and lace them to an old hub and they look close to the 28s when painted. i just want to keep period correct parts on her(besides i couldnt use the singletubes then...*someone correct me if im mistaken*)
ill just keep plunking away and sooner or later itll happen :|
ive built this bike in my head so often over the past year that i couldnt do it any different if i wanted too
 
are gonna pick up those sweet wood wheels for $500 @ the other place? :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
 
i wish.....theyre really nice but im not rich :shock:
