1950 Schwinn
1950 Schwinn
This thing rolls sweet! Makes me want to jump even though its just for looking cool!
I got this frame in 2006 and was going to build it as a klunker MTN bike. I opted for BMX parts since I am going to use it as my daily commuter, and looking hella cool is important to me.
1950 Schwinn straight bar frame, Ashta Bula fork, 26 x 1.75 Araya's with Atom drum brake hubs, single pinch 401's with Profile Imperial chain ring for bling, Manowar bars, Ame Tri's, Peregrine Stem, Tech 77's, Odyssey seat on generic fluted post, Victor Bear Trap pedals, Dynatron Head set and BB. Wheels will get CAP bath soon, very soon.
I need a GT Power Series Spindle and BB, so make with the one your holding!

The Drum Brakes work better than Nippons! Can't Fail is on Hollis right? I don't really drink any more but I still meet my friends at pubs, I just get the fake stuff now. I would be down to ride and or meet up. I set my own schedule so lmk when a good time for you is.

Re: 1950 Schwinn
This bike is sick. Makes me want to build one and now I will. I used to have a sick cruiser when I was a kid. After my 1.5 arrays got tweaked on my dimon back I put my takagi cranks Cw bars and everything on my Cruiser. I was racing 80cc mx at the time. That cruiser would hit anything in the canyon and it felt just like being on my 80.
I see how you would like to catch air on it, build another one for that this ones a classic!

Nice Mike. Looks good. So this is what you've been working on lately. Haven't seen you around for awhile.
My Father once spoke to me and said "The way you look at your bike is the way I see My children, I look past the imperfections and rough surfaces to the beauty of the finished product."

Re: 1950 Schwinn
Nice Cruiser, Just did a 73 Breeze for my wife, kept it more stock, but this makes me want to revamp. Again, great job!
Have Fun, Ride Hard!
It cant be a BMX if you aint riden it and there is no such thing as Bicycle Carpet Cross!
