~56 schwinn typhoon frame/fork (original paint&pin)
roadie stem
boardtrack styled bars
laidback seatpost
brooks saddle
fat franks tires

plans right now: shave seatpost clamp so seatpost sits on the frame. correct seatpost angle so saddle is parallel to ground. clean out neck so stem drops all the way in. switch pedals to some old all metal moped pedals. possibly shave reflective strips off tires (treadmill+friend+sandpaper?)

the aesthetics of the bike work way better in person, the seat isn't actually mounted (duct tape!) and that stem looks godawful high cause it's just barely sitting in the neck. it'll drop 4 inches once i borrow a wire brush and a drill.

the seatpost was fabbed by a buddy of mine. i was gonna have him fab up some boardtrack style bars too, till i realized that if i flipped some stingray apes and cut them off right after the bend, they'd be perfect!
