'81 Schwinn Tornado "BMX"

[ChadB]

I picked this up, off Ebay...'81 Schwinn Tornado "BMX", just like I had as a kid. Of course, I'm alot bigger now so I really can't ride it, but I'm wondering if the basic 20 inch boys frame could be made into something that I, @ 6'2, could actually ride.

Get a nice yellow banana seat and some ape hanger bars and it will be rideable. and look great!

Banana, bigger crank, and a longer fork if it hits the ground. Hope you like doing wheelies! :wink:

I was thinking, banana seat, ape hanger bars, and 20 in. springer fork, probably a bigger crank sprocket too, and I'd be in business.
