Re: Schwindian Last of the parts to be applied.

Thanks for the compliments!
Kingfish, I will post a full shot of the Schwindian Friday sometime. Made a few changes, but nothing too drastic. I think got her in the short rows now. At least it can be ridden.
Thanks for looking everyone.

Re: Schwindian Small Update (full size pics inside)

Thanks! I appreciate it. 8) My kids friends just think I am weird for "playing" with bikes.
 
Re: Schwindian Small Update (full size pics inside)

I never get tired of seeing that cool use of springer heads!!!!
 
Re: Schwindian Small Update (full size pics inside)

East, Kingfish, Scoot- Thanks Guys! Glad you all like it. Hopefully be "finished" next weekend. Well, As finished as anything ever is. Seems like all my bikes evolve the longer I own them. :)

Same here! My wife thinks I'm weird too! You would think she would have figured that out after almost 30 years of marriage! She knows I'm just a kid in an old man's body. Your build is lookin awesome! I've got some catching up to do

Strange, I have been told that I am an 80 year old in a 35 year old body with split personality disorder who thinks he is still 12.

True story. :lol:

Re: Schwindian Small Update (full size pics inside)

I love this off topic, but so on topic discussion!!!! We can all relate. Even the youngsters like Schwinnray and DubNickel can probably relate. So many people think it's silly to be playing around with bikes like we do. But there is no denying the fun we have with them. My wife doesn't get it, but she loves the smile I get when I am riding Fugsley around town.

Cheers to all of my Build Brothas who share a kid-like heart but a man's thirst!!!!
I like a whole lot of different beers, so tonight it was Trappiste Rochefort 8 Time for me, and about to be Duck Rabbit Baltic Porter Time.

Oh yeah, I like that stuff VERY much!!!
 
Re: Schwindian Small Update (full size pics inside)

This build is killer!! What you did with the springer heads gets votes alone! Plus you did my dream bike-a trike. I just can't snag one!! Maybe next year for buildoff 8. Hmmmm...
 
Re: Schwindian Small Update (full size pics inside)

I've said it before, I have seen this trike in person & it looks even better than in the pics. I've also seen his garage & he has tons of cool stuff in there, so he's probably not done yet! Who knows what's in the backyard! :lol: :lol: I'm waiting for him to go out of town, so I can raid his parts stash! :mrgreen: That trike is awesome Judd! 8)

Jake, thanks man. Glad you all like it.
 
Re: Schwindian Small Update (full size pics inside)
