Needs love. I’m not sure what I’m gonna do with it yet. Maybe source all the parts to make it stock or switch out the bars with v bars and the cranks with something more era appropriate. Not sure yet.

Re: The "Official Unofficial Schwinn Predator" Thread
Thanks guys, I'm a fan of that blue now. I wasn't sure at first but it went on smooth and dried so nice I'm going to have to try the same brand on my next build.

Re: The "Official Unofficial Schwinn Predator" Thread
BTW, any of you guys have any leads on 90s predators? Post anniversary series, 96, 97 maybe. Still with 1inch head tube? Id take a cheaper 1 1/8 if ones available. I need a project bad, sitting here mostly immobile on pain meds is putting me in a dark place and I need shit to keep me occupied while my kids are asleep or at school. Any help would be appreciated, not asking for handouts, freebies or sympathy deals. Just a legit lead on another affordable frame and fork set.
Good to see you back Ritchie, I just changed rooms that I had that predator sign you sent me and was wondering how you've been. It's hanging over my loose NECA collection now.

Re: The "Official Unofficial Schwinn Predator" Thread
Can any of you guys get your hands on the 88 predator decals? I can't find an option for them anywhere. I need some for my 88 freeform pro.. getting ready for a refinish on it. Someone tried to paint it up like an 87 instead. I want to go back to the original blue that it once was with the Original style decals. Surely someone knows where to get the decals? Thanks fellas.
Its gonna get hard. Its gonna crack. Nobody will ever steal it from you.

Sorry no decals here but that’s a cool bike. I like the geometry of those.

Yeah probably my favorite Predator to ride as a daily. I’ve had 3. First one was all original and rough but I absolutely loved it. Still kinda regret selling it but I couldn’t justify having 2 with not a lot of storage space. Second one I bought and currently in my stable is in great shape. Black chrome is delicate and this one is as good as I’ve come across. I was apprehensive about riding it (figures right?) so I bought another used frame that I paired with a no name fork. It’s my Frankenstein bike that my kids decorated and we hook up the side hack to. I need to change out the seat post from layback to straight. Seems to be more comfortable which is surprising because I like more room when riding.
