Schwinn Prototype B-Speed Machine?

[TheFlyingDingo]

This frame was sitting a quarter built for a long time, and i finally decided to pull it down and paint it. Ill give you a hint...It should hopefully be a little fast...And very rediculous.

Right now im working on finding tires for the wheels I have, I had to space out a five speed because a 3 speed did not line up correctly. Lets see how long it takes my photobucket to upload everything!

Look around the picture for a hint of where this build is going.

Here is a primer picture-Photobucket is giving me problems on my phone!

I see two frames not sure if they are the same project? This should be interesting.

Heres a hint of the color...

I have an idea for an extra rear brake, Just have to do it!

I need some parts to get this on the road...A matching set of chains, A seat, Front tire, Cables, Cable casings.

Re: Schwinn Prototype B-Speed Machine-For Charity!

I have decided since the bike is pink-Im going to throw it on ebay and sell it, but do the percentage donation thing.
For breat cancer, whatever foundation ebay follows.

As she sits Right now-

Im thinking of wrapping the handlebars. I Might flip them back around so riders (Or test riders...haH!) Can ride more comfortably.

thats cool! If you put a flip flop hub on it the hipsters will be fighting over it... :roll:

No, you have it wrong. Hipsters actually have taste and buy expensive, NJS or Italian frames. Crappy old Schwinn bikes would not be HIP. 1 piece cranks don't work with fixed gear bike either (unless you weld the chainring to the crank).

dude I don't know if you are a hipster or what but don't get your panties in a bunch it was just a joke. And one piece cranks don't make a bit of difference. Have you ever even built a fixed gear?

 

[TheFlyingDingo]

Kids, don't make me turn this car around.

 

[Motopecane]

hahah my bad I just hate people that can't either take a joke or let things go. You have to be able to laugh at yourself... I do it all the time.

I don't get it? He was just stating his opinion...


That being said...both bikes look pretty sweet.
