Bikes: Viking Urban Trail. Schwinn Spoiler

My latest creation

Got hold of a Schwinn Spoiler that I plan on restoring up a bit....

The plan is to have a Black bike with Gold wheel rims and a few other parts picked out in gold. I also plan on fitting it with one of those RC motors..... Zzzzzooooooom



I had to clean up the springer forks that were quite rusted. I was going to have them rechromed but I think it'll cost to much? So I may strip them down and paint them Black.

I swapped out the handlebars for a pair of minimoto bars I had laying around, i'll get better one's once I can afford it.

I had my mate Peter (he does all my welding) cut off the top of the small sissybar and weld a couple of extensions on, its looking ok but I may have to alter the angle a bit? we'll see how it looks once I get a back rest made up for it.



I cut up some angle iron and made up a tow frame which I took around to my mate Peter's to get him to weld it up. Back home I added some paint, bolted on my towball, hooked up my push trailer (no batteries, there on recharge) and took it for a quick spin around the block, It handled ok. I'll try out the motor on my trailer tomorrow once I hook up all the wiring and recharge the batteries.



The more I research I do about these bikes the more ideas I get in my head
I may even get in touch with my mate Gareth and see if he can knock me up one of these?...

Then I may end up with something like this....
