1941 OCC Schwinn DX Hybrid "Generation Gap"

[Xcruiser]

its about for you to give us sum new pic update

Yeah buddy,sorry.I am struggling with this build big time,just cant figure out my direction with it(not sure what the hang up is lol)
The occ bars were too low and it looked funny with the tall seat so I slapped on some cruiser bars made for a bmx style double clamp.I like it.


found a cool hairpin seat,its kinda bulky but what the heck!

white 24" wheels with white spokes came in.Hope I can mount the skiptooth sprocket on them.

front mounted,the tolerance is close ,about an 1/8th per side if I am lucky.Think i might have a fix (hammer) for this.
It rolls free and easy at the moment.

Some nice teardrop pedals.

Im thinking royal blue paint with white scallops on top tubes.Need a cool prewar chain guard.

Looks PERFECT!

Ok wew! Think Im back on track with this build.I was getting mega frustrated trying to find direction with this one.
anyhoo- pulled the hairpin seat for a different project cuz it didnt look right ,got the white/white wheels on and welded up a layback post.
Still in the mockup stage but real progress should start as soon as the monster inlaw leaves monday lol.Got a DX tank inbound,white paint instead of blue is the current plan.

if you still want to run 24x3 on the front, you can try to find a razor rebellion and snatch it's front forks. 3 and 5/8" clearance. the only issue would be that it has press fit bearings instead of bearing cups. so you'd have to make sure they fit or find the correct size bearing.

yup,frame is going white.its just mocked up right now.It shouldget stripped tonight.
As far as the triple trees theyd rock but I just used this OCC fork I had laying around.

started deburring some of the bad dings on the clamps,not goint to sweat the small stuff.

Thumbs up to S-K mini files,tough as nails and good for small stuff!

a little sanding and the belt and roloc work this cheap metal over fast-heck sanding is enough
