Title: 65 Schwinn Fastback--the BMX way
Post by: reilley1 on January 19, 2008, 11:20 PM

Back in the day, the Schwinn Fastback was the poor kid's way of getting a "true" bmx bike.  It had the straight down tube and it took very little to make it into a "Diamond frame"

I got this frame not long ago and been trying to figure out how to build it.  I had forgotten about the bars until I found them a couple days ago and the bike was built
