Notes:

I have had many comments on this seemingly stock Schwinn of mine but it is far from stock.

To Rai_Brains who asked how I did this here is a closer look.

Old crapy Schwinns have flat steel dropouts which is a good material for cutting up like this.

Here is the whole bike My Sunday Schwinn Cruiser

Hey what did you build your new dropouts from? Or did you buy them from somewhere?

I carefully cut the old ones off at such an angle so they could flipped around and reused. That's what the paper cut outs show.

Honestly I do not remember how I cut them off come to think about it. Probably an electric cut off wheel.
