1977 Schwinn Sportabout Restoration
This bike was my restoration project, I just went into personalization mode thought I would share it. Quotes include:
"BURN FAT NOT OIL"
"The most grueling stretches were off my bike" (MINE)
"Id Rather Be A Drunk Biker Than A Designated Driver"
"You don't have to be able to see your feet to pedal" (MINE)
"Slow your Roll"
"A 50% chance of rain will get you 100% wet"
"Contents under pressure; DON"T HIT!" (MINE)
"A bicycle is a curios vehicle, the passenger is the engine"
"I have 10 speeds and none of them are stop" (MINE)
ETC.
If you have a quote that would be a good addition to my bike please let me know there is still space available, (NO ADS) This is just for fun.

You may get flamed for it, but it's yours so thats what matters. The thing that looks strange to me is the handle bar position. Did you make the stickers yourself?

I like the one that's in someone's sigfile: "The revolution will not be motorized."

Oh, and as a C&Ver, I say have fun. It's your bike! I'm thinking about converting an 84 Schwinn World Sport into a fixie.

A buddy made them for me. I had just reassembled the bike when this picture was taken, the handle bars were quite tight enough and lowered when the bike was jostled. I noticed the first time I went to ride it and corrected the issue. Thanks for reading
