Forgive me if I am wrong but, did you not say this was going to be a rider?  If so, why is it looking so frickin "show-pony"??

 :LolLolLolLol: Defo rider bro  :daumenhoch: Skyways are not staying on it but I like my parts to be nearly NOS or NOS before starting to ride it  :LolLolLolLol:

The bars are showing signs of age and the F+F's are a little rashed in places believe it or not  :daumenhoch:

Headset is used, from my Haro  :LolLolLolLol:

I'm really liking this Schwinn build , different  :daumenhoch:and in a very good way


looks good with red tuffs too  ;)

but not so sure about the pretzels,they are wacky , maybe they take presence away from the unique styled frame which is the main thing here  :-\
,I'd change em for that reason ,,but tis your build and I'm sure you'll play around with a few ideas before you're totally happy anyways


It's a cool bike  8)

it's always hard to know what will work best ?

i like the pretzel bars - but would like to see a side on and a slight rear shot to see if they look any different on the bike

HD is right about taking away from the frame - that why i asked if we can have a couple of different shots

not sure on mushy's (sorry not a big fan of them) just was wondering if any thing else would fit the bill

sorry it seems as we are tearing down yer bike mate - i guess it's just what and how each of us would do it  ;D sorry

but frame is focal point  ;)

 :-* Dubz  :daumenhoch:

It looks different in the flesh bro and kinda think the bars help with odd styled frame  :daumenhoch: Will try and get some differnt angled shots on Sunday so you see what I mean  :LolLolLolLol:

Bendy my lover (oi oi)  :LolLolLolLol: I love the smooth feel of a good sweet mushroom mmm.....  :LolLolLolLol:

Any input is good bro, I like to hear others opinions as it helps me spend sh*t loads of dough  :LolLolLolLol:

I got offered some B1-B's, yellow over red but I think as I'm gonna ride it, they were a bit costly  :-\ So I might, if I can, obtain some yellow over red Fuan's  :-\

As the rims will be yellow, I think they will contrast really well.  

The bars are as whacky as the frame though and I think they blend in well  :daumenhoch: (don't they Costa  :LolLolLolLol: )

I wanted some B-1B's in blue and yellow - pricey  ::) or just missed out  :tickedoff:

i got a couple of copys in blue/grey on here and really like them - change the outer skins for oakley yellow orginals and it fit like a glove (basted getting them on - but four teaspoons and soap later it worked  ;D)

£20 for the pair and £15 on the skins -  8)

Or some  Tioga Air bars like Glenboy was selling would look good too  :daumenhoch:

But Organdonger's suggestion of Boss freestyles might be better in time era  ::)  ;)

but do they do either of these in chrome  ???  ;D


We'll get you spending more yet Terry :LolLolLolLol:

Been watching this build from afar Tel, I font like Schwinns and I certainly dong like Pretzel bars but I have to admit that it is coming together very very nicely, I am really surprised and it's great to see other peoples ideas and opinions come to life.

Great job Tel, love it.
