Well, I finally made my first non bmx racing bike. I stripped everything and cleaned/lubed. Bought new tires and inner tubes. Found the brakes, seat, peddles and shifter for 3$ each at a flea market brand new. I bought the handlebar tape and did it myself. It was pretty easy after a few you tube tutorials. This was also my first wiring job. It was easy as expected but very enjoyable too. Everything else is stock. I wish I knew what year this Schwinn was. It's old.

I actually haven't rode this yet because the streets in Minneapolis aren't the greatest for a noob commuter who still isn't used to the streets. (actually I just got here today, so I'm not comfortable just yet!)
