so i have a 1984 Schwinn world sport thats been languishing all summer, partially built in different itterations.. i used it last summer as a semi decent hybrid.. i was thinking of selling it outright this year but still never got around to it, its not worth much, the frame is scratched and i welded on some v brake bosses, which worked great until on of the bosses snapped... sooo.. now she really isn't winning any beauty contests..

i usually don't like riding when the colder weather hits, but my 1yr old german shepherd dog has other ideas, i have to take her on a run every night to keep her occupied, and the bike riding obsession accomodates her well
i'm thinking of continuing our riding/running trips through the winter but i really don't want to use my nice bikes, they will all be hybrinating till spring.. so figured why not the schwinn? i have enough parts in the bin to build up a heinous hybrid of some sort.. with 700c rims and a mismatching brake setup... its really just for quick shots around the block and back, i have some old hybrid tires that i was going to throw on the rims, and i was going to wrap zip ties around the rims to provide extra traction once the snow hits.

i was going to run a simple friction setup with thumbies and the crappiest derailluers my parts bin could afford. this is purely functionality any ideas would be appreciated...

thanks...
