What kind of frame do i need?and what size,,I gess the bigger the better???I wanna do the paint and everthing?full project

if you can ride that schwinn comfortably id get another 26"
as i said before you could fit balloon tires in there no problem... but a heavy weight frame would allow you to use fenders if you wanted yours is a middle weight(rear stays are *if i remember right* 2&1/2" wide and a heavy weight is 3" wide
some of the schwinn guys should be able to give you a definite size on the rear stays.
if you want something to cut up,paint and such check the papers,garage sales,trash bins at your lbs(local bike shop) just ask them first! you should be able to find a huffy or murray cantilever frame fairly easy...

 

[banana seat Brian]

so then i need a cantilever frame then?or fust and 26 in frame?

 

[sensor]

if you want the same frame style as your schwinn.... thats a cantilever frame
hoochs rosemary is a (schwinn)straight bar frame
and most of mine a motobike frames(or prewar straight bar)
