Greetings from Hazel Park!
Hazel Park, St.Paul, Minnesota that is. I realize I am arriving at the party fashionably late, but hey better late than never. After watching the last two or three build offs from the bleachers, I decided this would be the year I'd throw one of my bikes into the fray. I would have posted this thread earlier but I honestly wasn't sure i'd finish in time to enter. I have kept a good photo diary of the build and will adding highlights to this thread tonight and tomorrow.
I was interested in building a bike specifically for regular trips to the market. So starting with the green Schwinn Collegiate pictured above, I set out to build a pimped up grocery getter!
Lots of hard work and several PBR's later, she is all but done. Just need to reinstall chain and chain guard and wipe off the finger prints. Hoping for good light tomorrow morning to get some pretty shots for the final entry pics.
