I totally didn't see that they were oval... that definitely makes it hard to shove a round pipe inside. Lol thanks, Douglas Johnson "Skrach" http://www.VividlyVintage.com

First of all, great work! Not sure if you had done so already as i could not see it in the pics but, for a stronger way to weld 2 ends together you should find a pipe that has the diameter of the inside of the pipe. (A size just big enough to slide inside, preferably a tight fit.) So you would...

Oh ok. I will measure when I get home. I was wondering why people seemed excited or suprised, that it had a skip tooth.

Yep, it wont be a show bike. Just a very nice rider.

I will take a picture of the frame I have later tonight, so you can see if its suitable for a replica. Its a stingray frame, thats as far as I know.

What is the reason they made the skip tooth? I would think its less torque on the chain.. But thats all I can think of

Thanks, I will check that out. I am such a newbie when it comes to bikes. Im 27 now and havent ridden on for about 18 years lol. I never customized my bikes either. I wish I would have. I am in the sf bay area if anyone has one for sale at a reasonable price.

Whats a bfk? Oh and I seen the hyper performance guy on ebay. I think his name is pete. He sells a seat rebuild kit just for the orange krate

Anyone build one? I plan on doing one for my dad. He had one in 68 until it got stolen. So here will be his childhood dream arrising from the ashes. Pretty much all I have is a stingray frame, bananna seat that will need to be recovered w/ kit on ebay, and ape hanger handle bars that I can use...

Is having a skip tooth a good thing?

So would it be that it has the wrong chain guard? maybe someone had put it on as a replacement.

How do I measure it? Again.. Major noob

Is that good or bad? Im such a noob

Found a sn# G363474 located on the bottom of the sprocket hub. Hope this helps ID it

Also, I have a stingray that has been turned into a lowrider. How do you date frames? I want to make an orange krate replica. Anyone I should talk to on here that is master of the orange krates?

I got this one for 20 bux but I have zero info on it. Any info would be great. Im building this for the wife. Pink and blue will be in its future :-? The last pic is hard to see but is a pic of the schwinn logo. I will try to take better pics later
