Re: 1981 Schwinn Scrambler
Clean classic look that made Schwinn a household name in BMX. That color was a lil less common then the red ones. I would only change it to skinwall sided tires or a Carlisle Aggressor in the front and get some traditional grips from that era. You can find Oury's fairly cheap and Schwinn carried that brand. I think they also carried Preston Petty. Well let me just break out my 78 catalog and see. In 1978 they carried Oury, Oakley and Scrambler grips with a ribbed or waffle design. (Sounds like a condom ad).

BTW love how you even have the chain guard and show it with it on and off. Total attention to detail.

the Carlisle Aggressor would look good on the front. i also like the Oury idea, good call Racer.
