Check it out guys... here is a picture of my bad boy. I want to throw on a few more parts like a front fender, new seat, and perhaps a set of lights but I just thought I'd show this picture first and then update it later when I have added the rest.
So far I've only painted the frame flat black... added my must have bell on the handle bars... painted the rims a glossy black to contrast with the flat black and make those white walls stand out. The black rims also give the illusion of fatter tires which ROCKS! aaaand I added the black grips on the handle bars. the originals were green Schwinn grips which I plan on holding on to just in case. as far as the model of the rod, i believe its a cantileaver framed schwinn from the early 70's, unfortunately that's all i know. If anyone has a better idea on the model, please let me know!
Hope you all like...
