Schwinn

another transplant from the AMF

good new chain, junk pedals

39t chain ring x 19t on Shimano 3 speed hub

Schwinn Suburban fenders, "Nimble" chain guard, paint job coming up. This guy is heavy (41 lbs.), slow, and doesn't climb hills well. But there's just something about it! Brand new rack brought the total price just over 0. It's a little different now. My campus rat bike, unstolen for months.

I laughed..

but it's a good bike and if it works for you.. go for it !

Inspiration

Nothing wrong with your build. When snow comes, you don't want to get an expensive bike rusty. I hope to find a cheap bike for the winter and do the same thing.

smiling but not laughing

f'n cool is what i say. be proud of your build. i'm building a bike right now out of throw a way parts. go build another one.

Nothing funny about utility!

Nice find! I love it. You're right there is something about it.
Don't paint it!

far too practical

that's why the hipster posers laugh at it...

I think

Its cute!

and laughs

Damn!

No one is willing to "friend" this bicycle. Now, THAT, is cold!
Is that why it is in the snow?

Laughing? Never.

The frame looks like a Continental. I have a yellow one that is about to go under the wrench.

I'll bet alloy wheels, no chainguard and polycarbonate fenders will lighten things up.

The seat might even account for about 3 pounds. :)

Nothing to laugh at...

Now if you ride this bike in a lycra unitard, that's funny!

tee hee hee

snicker, chortle & guffaw!

aaahhahahahhhhhahhhhhhh!

Seriously, old Schwinns rock!
