Hey guys. I'm in. i've been working on this one for about two weeks but haven't had the chance to borrow a computer to upload the pics. I'm not finished with it yet but it's close. . .i'm just haveing to backtrack and get all the build pics on here so don't be hatin'! I started out with a brush painted early 50s Schwinn Hornet i got for free from my local bike shop. I wanted to do a military themed bike but i noticed more of those were popping up so i decided to go the police route with it.
May 7th - This is what i started with. . . .
I got this schwinn Twinn a few weeks back to use for parts. . . i.e. wheels, grips, and tires.
It had to have the heavy duty spokes.
This is it after chemical stripping with the tandem wheels and the original seat, bars, crank, guard, and fork. I didn't like the type of truss rods Schwinn used on this model though.
Time to prime!
