r/schwinn

Schwinn really knew how to put the paint down.

New tires, tubes, rim strips, and brake pads so far. It’s cleaned up well for a bike that was discarded in a dumpster a couple of weeks ago (after and before shots)! Everything works great and now I need to take it on a nice long ride to celebrate!

Has the wrong wheels,pedals, and brakes, and saddle. Needs fenders. It started as a total basket case. Converted it from single speed to Sturmey Archer 3 speed. Converted from coaster brake to caliper brakes.

I’ll keep my nose to the ground and try to turn up the correct parts for it but I wanted to get it riding and in my rotation of daily bikes to enjoy it while I’m improving it.
