Schwinn Lowrider, the Trailer Queen Killer
By Legislator on 03/04/2008.
Bike tags: Single speed | 144s | 666 | chrome | death |
1982 Schwinn Replacement frame, the year of my birth and the end of Chicago production.
Schwinn baby ape hangers, with those blue flake teardrop grips.
Cheap lowrider springer fork with a real Schwinn yolk, Schwinn headset.
144 spoke chrome, soon to be a 144 freewheel with a band brake instead of a freewheel, 'cause KT coasterbrakes suck.
144 spoke chrome coaster, with a set of the best whitewalls ever: Maxxis Hookworms, 110 psi = ZOOBOMB!
Schwinn 140mm one piece, with the OG 53 tooth Schwinn 'Mag' sprocket that came on my fastback. Reprofiled chainguard.
Custom Persons real animal leather banana, sitting on a suspension sissybar.
OG Schwinn Bow pedals, Chrome chain.
53x16 until I can get a 14 tooth for the rear.

She's a trailer queen killer because she gets ridden often, and even though I got this frame new in the bag from old stock of a bike shop that burned down, I put on the Al's sticker to remind me of my hometown. Custom made wide full wood fenders (big ups to Dave at River City Bicycles in portland for coming correct on the fenders), complete with real animal leather Stingray 'S' mudflaps of my own manufacture. When the apocalypse happens, vegans may be the only ones able to fertilize their crops with their own poo, but that will be OK because I'll just eat the vegans (they'll taste the best anyway).
