Hey all, I'm new to building bikes and this has all been a lot of fun and a learning experience. Since I'm new you will have to excuse me as what I've done to this bike I purchased from another member might be sacreligius, not sure if was original paint or not, but the day I got it, I stripped it. Anyway, started with a '62 Schwinn Typhoon, build took about 3 days, pics below.
Picture of how it looked when I got it:
Picture of mock up with truss rods, different stem and bars flipped, Brooks Saddle and modded seat post:

Please feel free to comment, as I am a beginner amongst professionals and will take all of your comments as constructive criticism. Thanks for looking!
After reviewing, I noticed that the right side of all my pics got cropped in the post. Sorry. I'll fix pics when I can take some new ones.
