We got a free schwinn traveler yesterday in pearl white color. Very good condition and its 100% functional.

Would you guys convert it to fixed?

Im thinking maybe just clean it up nice and restore it to be all shiny and brand new looking with some nice new tires and what not....

It looks like this below but its pearl white
