Found the frame in the trash with a trashed derailer
took it home and turned it into what u see.
it aint perfect, but i like it.
last friday, my friend gave me a schwinn generator set(complete) for free!
its coming together, slowly but surely

well, tested the generator weds night, works perfectly...and i got a BONUS.
since my rim still wobbles a bit, i can set the gen to "hit-n-miss" so i get a "flashing "effect!
worked so nice i had a car honk at me
best part is: i cant feel hardly any drag on my wheel when i ride
will get a pic of the semi final ride tomorrow

trx1. Perhaps confusion at your thread would have been minimal if you showed a before and after of the frame that you were intending to build up. (In this case, the green one.) The heart of a bicycle is the frame and using that as the center for your before picture would have made a lot more sense to me.
