I don't think I've posted this in here So here is one of my steeds. This is the first bike I have built from scratch. Found some type of Schwinn on Craigslist for $40 that had about 6 coats of paint on it and some vinyl letters that spelled schwinn. I pulled the junk components off, sanded, primed, and painted the frame. Bought a Velo wheel set and promptly removed the stickers. I was a sucker and bought some white tires (now gray). At some point this spring I'll spring for a pair of continental tires. Rebuilt the bottom bracket, put on a new crank and chain and voila! She rides like a dream, just took some getting used to never coasting, and my first couple hills were a nightmare!

Nice build. Very clean. Love them classic schwinns. Got one myself.
