I am another step closer to being in the club. I was working on the Schwinn drop bar project and wasn't finding what I needed so I started on another project. I basically finished it tonight and was riding it around when the chain broke. It wasn't a big deal because I need to put a different one on anyway. It saved me time breaking it apart. =) Here it is in its ghetto single speed glory although chainless.



I see why people say these old U-brakes suck. They totally do. I'll put some cantis on the rear instead. The front cantis are awesome. This bike doesn't fit the greatest because I need a longer stem or maybe I will just ride in the drops most of the time. It was nice I had a whole stem, bars and brake lever with bar tape that I could just put on the bike. I like the funky stickers on it that just screams ghetto or maybe character. I also need to put a rear rack on it, but that will be easy because it has all the mounting points and has screws already waiting for me. I am surprised how quickly it came together and now I have everything I need for the Schwinn too.
