I took it out on its maiden ride yesterday just after the photo. The seat it too low for my height. I was gassed out after a 1/4 mile. Otherwise happy.

The bar will likely change but for now its different and im ok with it. The wheels are more difficult.

Fully cargo capable.

Much better.

Ran to the local spot for some pedals. Found a tire.

Im 6'4" with the long arms you mentioned so the post was a plus for me. It has a mountain bike riding position for me now. Pretty happy with at the moment. Handlebars are too cheap not to keep experimenting though. So we'll see.

Little more progress. Filed the bars down a bit more to fit a new brake lever. Shortened up the cable. Switched to an old OEM Schwinn cable cover. Now the happier news. Laid back post and Chinese hairpin saddle off Amazon...

Yep. 1 inch oak dowel from a big box hardware store. 36” for $5. Cut down to 21".

Summer update. She's been untouched thru the cold weather. Miami Sun Trike rear end. 24x3 Dyno Fireball tires. GripShift garbage is GONE! Scuffed. Masked. Rust Oleum Canvas White. Too bright but the closest 'off the shelf' I could find. Bake in the sun. Drink. Next...

Bought the bike used for 100. The fenders for 118 shipped.

New Woody's Fenders came Friday. Before: After: Before: After:

I agree the fenders are up in the air. Might use them on the black Schwinn next to Sanctuary. Anyone think a color change should happen?

So I picked this 2013 model up last Friday. Original owner rode it 3 times. Its definitely a big box store purchase. That said im not attached to it and looking to mess around. Stuff already on order but not convinced ill use. Thumb style friction shifter to replace the...

So far Im happy with it. Starting to loosen up.

I've had the complete bike since I was 12-13. Im 31 now. Nearing 32. I took it apart almost immediately and didn't know how to re-attach the shifter cable. I hung it up roughly 18 years ago in my parents shed. Now here we are. Flip the stock bars & take off the grips. Thought...

Im playing around with a '71 Schwinn Racer. Almost a fresh find as I stashed it in my parents shed nearly 20 years ago. Started here: Currently here: Anyway! I was cruising Craigslist a couple weeks ago for a saddle and ended up searching Schwinn. Fell onto these listed in...

Brand new to attempting a bike build/clean up. Im pretty happy with her. 1971 Schwinn Racer. Hung up in my parents shed when I was 13 and couldnt figure out what I did to the Sturmey Archer shift chain. Started here. New tires/tubes, grips, saddle, brake cable, shifter cable with grommet.
