@ Jaypeg - Cheers dude.

@ Norty40 - Thanks man. I saw a 64 schwinn on the BMX Museum and liked the look so thought i'd try it out. It's quite nice to ride if not strictly BMX.

@ Kungfunky - I was stoked to get it and no, i didn't get the sweetheart BB with it.

@ Bodamus - Cheers dude, was a really good price too!!

Thanks man, believe it or not this is gonna be my rider. For a bunch of parts that have been thrown together it handles real well.
