Title: From hanging in the rafters...
Post by: Noodneek on January 25, 2016, 08:46 PM: ... To built up at last

This 1974 schwinn stingray frame has been sitting up on the wall in the back of the garage for a very long time, today I thought that's enough so put it together

Even the seat post is from an old schwinn exerciser, the numbers are so cool
