This is a 1989 Schwinn Probe Road Bike striped down to metal to show the intricate brazing on the ornate fittings. The combo looks awesome. The dropouts are off a GT and welded perfectly. Added old Fuji embossed road cranks. Black Arraya rims with Red Spoke nipples and Blue Sunshine hubs. Big lightweight Bontrager Hanks. This big is smooth smooth.

Clean ride man did you clearcoat the bare frame?

Only a couple hits with Rattlecan Clear as of now. could use a nice thick coat b/c it looks very good raw.
 
Cool build. I like the rawness of the frame with those Bontrager tires.

GT dropouts, Schwinn Frame, Fuji cranks. A true frankentstein bike.
 
Awesome ride. I'm going to have to build a bare metal bike. That look is awesome.
 
The one I have has a bigger frame. Its now stripped down to be powder coated. I was told they are hybrids or city bikes. They are considered mtbs. Its awesome to see another one.
