Here's a bike that I restored for my girlfreinds birthday present... It's 1961 24" Schwinn Tornado double straight bar.
I had the frame & fork powder coated in a sparkle pearl white, & the wheels in red. I had all the original Schwinn parts re-chromed (including the hubs & every last nut & bolt) I also re-laced the wheels myself with stainless steel spokes. I even used NOS Schwinn tires for the S7 wheels. I still have to find a 'Tornado' decal for the chain guard. Any ideas where to look???
I hope you guys like it.
