Hello,
To introduce myself my name is Aron and I enjoy restoring old bikes. Aside from fixing them up I recently have gotten into building custom or altered bikes. Most have just been for fun. This however is my first serious build. I acquired a Schwinn breeze from my local recycling yard for $5.00 and wasn't sure what I was going to do with it. The rear wheel was completely bent but the three speed Sturmey Archer hub was still intact. I took the whole bike apart and was staring at the frame when it hit me. The shape of the cruiser bars and the flow of the frame spurred something in my imagination. I can't take full credit for my idea as my inspiration comes from someone else's build. Anyway I decided to cut the frame and flip it. I forgot to take a photo of what it looked like before so I found one on Google.
My inspiration:
What the bike was:
What it will be:
keep in mind the bike is just taped together for mocking at this point. Forgot to mention I named it Nnimhcs because the is schwinn upside down.
