Title: Schwinn Scrambler
Post by: dirtyvans on November 18, 2007, 08:41 PM

Here's my Schwinn Scrambler, it took a while to get the parts, most from the US, although the frame and wheels were found in the UK

I was basically looking for 1970's bike to build up, i'd seen  many of Reilly's bikes on here and really liked the clean look of no brakes but with a coaster brake. When the schwinn came up i had to go with the banana seat as they were an option for the schwinns and looked cool  8)

I got it finished for the London CIN ride and it was fun to ride

1977 Schwinn Scrambler frame
Ashtabula forks
Skyway Tuff 1's with coaster
box bars
goose neck stem
hunt wild grips
snowflake sprocket
Ashtabula cranks (not yet fitted - i need a matching bottom bracket)
