Shortstack Lightining - 1972 Schwinn Speedster Path Racer build

I would have preferred to do this on a larger frame, but this fell into my lap, and I suppose that's how these things happen. I milled the stem diameter down to the Schwinn steerer tube diameter a few mm. It doesn't seem like much, but it takes a bit of filing and sanding and polishing. Tracked down some Weinmann 810 calipers and some Wald fenders and there you have it - Shortstack Lightning. It's heavy but it's a blast on a crushed limestone path and I feel worse for the pothole than the rim when I hit one. Sold to a new owner who fit it well.
