1980's Schwinn World Traveler Womens Frame (originally blue) 49cm

No name w/ benotto tape

Stock, cromo headset off ebay stock was to rusty

Stock Kilo Wheel, White Zaffiro pro

Stock Kilo Wheel, White Rando

Campy Chorus and Shimano bb

White Velo saddle, Stock

Mks Gr9, White Kmc

42x 17 shimano single speed casette

White tires of my old bike. Bought frame for on craigslist, and peiced it together through ebay for cheap. Pics were taked before brakes had cables installed. It is now a nice single speed for my girlfriend. Frame was painted pink to cover old scratched paint job.

One day i hope to get rid of the ugly brake levers (got for 5 at bike kitchen) and wither get nice chrome ones, or really just build up a coaster brake rear wheel.

My girlfriend has the same

Submitted by Kimokeo on 11/18/2009.

My girlfriend has the same bike except old and crappy, and i was going to convert it to a SS for her. Did you strip the old paint before you painted it? And is that with rattle can paint?

Also, where did you get your crankset?

Thanks for your help, i don't know much about bike mechanics but i'm trying to learn.

compared to bikes in

Submitted by ESR on 07/05/2009.

compared to bikes in general, not to heavy, but compared to my bareknuckle im use to, its heavy. I spent about 150 on it, including paint. I could have done it cheaper, but i didnt really have a budget. I also did a lot of trades to get the parts for it.

Thanks!
