I didn't think I would join in the fun this year since I had no time, no money and no bike for a build. Well now I got a bike so the rest is easy enough to find or get by without.
This bike as been trying to get to me for the past 3 years and I finally let it arrive today on my doorstep. My friend Robin wanted me to have it because he thinks I can make something cool out of it. I finally accepted the offer for the soul purpose of the build off. I know I was stupid but the time was just not right until now.
It's basically a blank canvas right now and I have some ideas but nothing particular. I know I want it dirty but that could change. Seeing one of these around here is like a sighting of Haley's comet, doesn't happen too often. Owning one is next to unheard of, so I want to make it justice. It won't be a short build.
The bike is in running order and as a single red band hub. It's rough but it's all there. I posted the serial#, any of you Schwinn meisters know what year it is?
