Re: BMX Cruiser Schwinn- Little progress made I like this build! Very cool! It's similar to what I did with my Speedster. viewtopic.php?f=21&t=33213 BTW, where did you get the handlebars and what kind are they?

Re: Schwinn Speedster Update! Finished! I never thought I'd finish it, but it's a rider! It's only missing the kickstand, the old one was too crusty to put back on so I'll have to get a new one. It rides as good as it looks! It turned out way better than I thought it would. My favorite...

Re: Schwinn Speedster Update! Frame painted and partially assembled.

Re: Schwinn Speedster Due to my being slammed at work, Christmas, and the rainy weather here in Cali, I haven't done much on it since I have to paint it outside. It's not supposed to rain this weekend so I'll be able to at least prime the frame. All it needs is paint and I can put it together...

Incredible (head shaking), just incredible.

Re: Schwinn Speedster Hey Beau, I like your bike, very cool, especially the double chain! I had no Idea Schwinn made a frame like that.

Re: Schwinn Speedster Since I got the frame, I've collected most of the parts I'll need to finish it and here they are. My colors will be a white frame with blue and chrome pretty much every thing else The wheels are blue anno cruiser wheels from Bicycle Wheel Warehouse. I bought both blue...

My first build on this forum! I'm starting with a frame that most wouldn't consider very desirable, a Chicago made 1967 Schwinn Speedster that I found on ebay. I was the only bidder. The goal is to make something good out of a frame that not many people would want. I've done this before when...

Looking at that frame, it looks like the same dropouts and BB shell as a camelback frame I have. I'd be curious to find out how old it actually is. I'm going to adapt a mid BB crankset into mine because I figure I'd never be able to get the original cranks for it...

Great looking build! A couple of questions. What kind of tires are you using, and what are the grips?

I'm sure this has been asked before, but how do I remove the kickstand from my Schwinn frame? It's one of those in the welded on barrel.

Re: 2010 SKULL SKATES 26" CRUISER I just received mine the other day but I haven't had time to put it together. I thought it was pretty funny that it has a fixed cog on it. I'll see if I can learn to ride it backwards :mrgreen: ...

One other thing, make sure that your chainline is straight. If it isn't, you can throw a chain, which is bad on a fixie, since most people who ride them don't run brakes. When you build the bike, if the chain makes noise when you pedal it, add spacers until it doesn't. Also, it won't hurt to...

By a flip-flop hub I'm assuming that you mean a fixed cog on one side and a freewheel on the other. For this you really only need to replace the hub. My fixie conversion runs a Formula flip-flop hub with sealed bearings an this is a good choice for a budget hub (they run about $35-45 without...

Hi All, I'm thinking of having a set of 26" aluminum rims anodized blue, and I'm wondering if anyone has done this? I need to know if it will damage the rims due to the acids used, specifically the pins that hold the rims together. I know this may be a technical question, but any info would be...

That's exactly what I'm looking for! Thanks!

Does anybody make a BMX Style fork with a 1" threaded steer tube for a 26" wheel? I've found them for 24" but no 26" Thanks!
