Re: Breast Cancer Awareness 24" 53' Phantom for my wife

Here is a temporary loose fit of the bike.New bars havent showed up yet so i slapped some rusty bars on it wich actually look way cool.Rear tire has gotta go,its just to tight.One of the two seat options is on,I am tweaking the seat donated by member Pick to get it straightened out a little then Ill test fit it and let my wife decide.Final product should be done soon depending on how my wife is doing.

Its a 24x3.0 Dyno Fireball.They ask 50-60.00 for these babies on ebay but my schwinn dealer has old stock for 20.00 each.Im going to use a cheng shin C241 cruiser tire,looks decent in online pictures,Its tuff to find 24" anything let alone tires.I will go to a Maxxis Hookworm 24x2.50 if the C241 doesnt look right.

Tell ya what.Ill be going by that shop when my wife gets some scans (i think this week) and Ill drop by and buy out the last 3 or 4 and If you'll pay back my 20.00 and cover whatever shipping Ill send you one.I dont care to profit and I WILL without question send your tire to you so no worries.I admit I will be extremely busy this coming week with my wifes condition (we found another place that appears willing to do her surgery,cross your fingers)but I should be driving right by the shop on the way to the hospital 60 miles way and i stop by anyway everytime i am in town.

I really appreciate the offer but your extremely busy. I really don't want to intrude on such an event. Maybe in the future :) Thanks though :wink:
 
Re: Breast Cancer Awareness 24" 53' Phantom for my wife

Finally got a minute to get some decent pics outside in the light.Took off the 24x3.0 tire so I could mount the chain guard.Put on an NOS 1963 Kelly Springfield tire temporarily.

i really like the ks tire you put on it. its very good looking with that on it. love the chain that sets it off. i wish i could find an all white one for this build im doing. GREAT JOB best wishes to you and your wife.
 
Re: Breast Cancer Awareness 24" 53' Phantom for my wife

I think it looks pretty cool as is, but a little bigger tire will just look better! That's just my opinion! Everything is coming together very nicely.

dvnport : You can get an all white chain @ Porkchop BMX (a sponsor on this site) for about $11 + shipping!
