I built this bike for my wife for a Mothers day present in 2006. I bought it at an automitive swap meet along with the jchiggins in the background. I think I paid $20 for the schwinn and $10 for the higgins. I stripped it down the day after I got it home and sent the frame out for powdercoating. I also bought a reproduction phantom rack for the back with a taillight and sent that out for powder too. I kept the taillight home and painted it pink along with the tank and chainguard.
