bent the front forks abit to give it a stretch and added a scooter seat and the funky apes off my pixie for now
I made the laideback seatpost from some old handlebars and will be adding a rear seat support to hold my fat .... up!

Looking good bro.. I seen ur colgate dropouts sister at the fleamarket shes an ugly mug haha and i seen his older brother also, NICE! Near mint cond.. i liked it.
 
the rear tubes actually I just set the frame on the ground and pushed down til it was where I wanted then I stuck the frame in between the stairs to my basement and changed the whole angle bringing the bottom bracket up a little

Once I get her welded I will take it apart to clean it up switch the s-7 wheels for another set with better lookin spokes(keeping the OG Nylon whitewalls)
add a different crankset from a schwinn then this thing will be 100% Schwinn
well not counting duct tape and welding wire lol
 
Man, that rocks. My favorite part of this is doing cool stuff with the crap we already have layin' around.

Now I'm thinking.....I had a friend a couple years ago that had an old peuget mixte thing sitting behind the house......

I gotta learn to weld! :roll:
