Schwinn Breeze for wife

Postby ndaway on Mon Mar 05, 2012 7:48 pm

Got an all original 70s Schwinn Breeze from my wifes uncle. My wife rode it and fell in love so im going to rebuild it for her. She wants lite powder blue with all white tires (which i found for the s-6 rims :shock: ) white decals and white seat and grips. I figure that leaves me with the black schwinn seat and grips for another project :wink: it has a three speed that works great i polished a spot on the wheels,hubs,and handel bars and all will polish out great so im starting teardown tonight Image

That is going to look really beautiful. She will be able to enjoy that for a lifetime.
I have to ask - Where does one get white s-6 tires?

My local bike shop only had all black for 12$ and I had wanted whitewall so I looked on ebay and found whitewall for 58$ each :shock: so that wasn't happining. But while looking around on ebay I found the all white 42$ free shipping for the pair the ad was for one set so I don't know if there are anymore

Yeah, wonderful job; everything just compliments the bike so nicely and the white tires really make it pop.
It'll rub out.
