I really like your Corvette. The single seat is the winner. I did not know a Schwinn could look so cool. The black & White chain is off the chart cool. Nice build. Thanks for the ride along.

WOW Thanks man!
I got the post,post clamp & seat buttoned up and pedals on and went cruisin.The super long Varsity cranks and small sprocket make a nice easy ride,really enjoyed it.As soon as I get some sun for a nice picture Ill post it.Still have stuff to do to it but the basic theme is complete.

Dayum... Looks really, really nice. I really dig what you did with the bars! Almost makes me wish I would have pulled the trigger on the Corvette I was checking out before I bought my Typhoon, but I couldn't get around those chrome fenders, and I gotta have fenders!
