Yup. Just another boring schwinn corvette build. YAWWWWNNNNN. First pic is after I had it powder coated and installed nexus 7 speed. Then I was tired of pedaling and added motor kit that I put almost 7,000 miles on before it blew. Sat around for awhile until some inspiration came in a bag...

Do you guys have a problem with too much travel? If so how did you stop it? I flipped my dropouts. It looks cool. It rides ok. Except when i hit bigger bumps. My front tire hits the fork and locks it up like i have brakes on the front. Needless to say, my bike has given me a few flying lessons...

I have never shipped a whole bike or frame because i dont want to ride 5 miles with a huge box on my handlebars. Is there any one that does c.o.d.? I dont have a credit card, credit, or paypal so i cant print shipping labels or anything of the sorts. I just want to box it, address it, then have...
