A few months ago I picked up a 73 Schwinn Camelback Speedster at an antique mall for under $20.

I decided I would start to build it as a skinny tired 3 speed commuter.

Looking for a Schwinn middleweight or lightweight fork for it. Running a 26 x 1 3/8 wheelset, must have hole for a caliper brake.

Headtube with cups measured 4 3/4”, so I’m thinking the steer tube needs to be around 6”.

Looking for a bargain, of maybe a trade.

Color doesn’t matter, gonna strip it anyway.
