Hi, Clothespin "n", That was my original plan, but I know I need a girl's frame if I am going to be able to ride it. I am a very short female with arthritis. I want to use the accessories on a bike I can use. I got into this project in the first place because I need transportation around...

I found a book online that teaches 1950's style pinstriping technique. Have any of you used it? I would like to know if it is good. BASIC HOT ROD PINSTRIPING TECHNIQUES WITH HOT ROD SURF by MWM http://www.hotrodsurf.com/catalog/produ ... f9e80dd4d1

I have started cleaning one of the crash rails. I am amazed at what beautiful chrome I have found under there!

Thanks dumpster_diver! I have emailed amd Sent you a PM.

Yeah, the crash bars... I can't wait to see how they clean up!

There is white paint "drips" on the fenders, frame, and seat. Is there a safe way to remove the paint on the painted surfaces without damaging the original paint job? In this same vien, how should I tackle the rust spots on the frame and fenders? Peg

Oops, someone on the Schwinn site told me Murray built Sears bikes.

That was the info given to me. I can't find anything online. So far this post saying it's a Murray. I can't find any pics of this bike anywhere. I will watch for more replies.

I don't believe the fork is available. Just the frame. Is there a list with serial numbers to see if I can find more details on the model?

pics and serial# 1966 Sears 26" Girls Frame Here is the link to the photos. He included one of the bike as it was originally: http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/mallard11 ... e2&.src=ph Schwinn did build frames for Sears during that period. The serial # is kinda weird...There is 502...

It was built in 1955.

Hi gang, MarkM has a 1966 Sears 26" Girls Frame. I know nothing about them. Were they Schwinn built, or would Schwinn parts be compatable? Would I have trouble finding parts to build it into a rat rod? I don't have the tools, etc. to adapt parts. How hard will it be to find what I...

You have come great combinations there! And with the feedback, I am getting some ideas. Hmmm... Peg
