Yup. Just another boring schwinn corvette build. YAWWWWNNNNN. First pic is after I had it powder coated and installed nexus 7 speed.
Then I was tired of pedaling and added motor kit that I put almost 7,000 miles on before it blew.
Sat around for awhile until some inspiration came in a bag and sawzall.
Started cutting frame to install different style motor. Then a vision came to mind, it's a schwinn and should ride like a bike. Plus I had a little over a $1,000 worth of parts laying around in boxes new, going to waste. I seen a image of a crank forward schwinn . Syarted looking for schwinn parts than another image came up with nuvinci n360 , mavic xm819 disc rims, primo powerbite crankset, Hopen rotor on front, big shimano roller on rear, monark fork with disc brake adapters, shimano front hub, double butted wheelsmith spokes and nipples , phantom chaingaurd, 4 reflector rear rack, and much more. Black decals for a stealthy look.
More customizing and more parts as soon as I find exactly what I want for this build. Unsure of what pedals, seat, bars and grips to go with. Brooks sure does look good but if I don't like it when I'm done, I'd hate to spend $ on better seat and grips I won't reuse. And someone will get a great deal on a bike wit lots of hours and dollars into it. . Lol.
