New Bike!
I was driving down the road the other day when I saw drop bars in front of a second hand store. Naturally I stopped to see what was there. It turned out to be a Schwinn World Sport in pretty rough shape. I'm guessing late '70s or early '80s. Anyway, the rims are pretty rusty as are the bars. The RD looks salvageable but the front I think is toast. Suprisingly the frame looks pretty good. I got the bike for $10 so I don't mind putting a bit of money into it. I think some new rims, tires, a new front D, and some strategic paint with new bar tape, will end up making a pretty good bike. I'll post a few pics when I have a chance. I think this will be a fun project.
