Very cool build, just screams "old school"

Thank you! That was my intention all along, to recreate my beloved childhood bike.

You did great on this.

Did your childhood bike have the motomags and oakley 3 grips?

Thanks, Ripper!

My childhood bike was actually handed down to me from my older brother. The Motomags were definitely there from the day he bought it. If I remember correctly, my brother personally chose the wheels as a custom option that the store was offering. I've seen a few other Schwinns here w/ Motomags, so I'm guessing this may have been a common option with various bike shops at the time. As for the grips, the bike originally came with the standard type. But I had replaced them with the red cobra type grips when the bike became mine.

I still need a red chainguard, if anyone can help!!
