I have a number of bikes that went from dropped bars to upright. First up is a Schwinn Continental that was repainted.



These are Wald chrome plated steel handlebars. I wanted them to be close to or the same as the Schwinn 7881 bars. Many people say that Wald made the handlebars for Schwinn, however, I am not sure about that. The Schwinn handlebars seem better formed and seemed to have better looking chrome. But these Wald bars have better chrome than they used to, so they will stay for now. In fact, I bought them thinking that I would use them as a stand in and get more expensive bars based on how I liked them.

For the fenders, they are Velo Orange Stainless Steel. I've had them on the bike for about four months and they are sturdy. No problems when I am riding on trails. I'm not too worried about weight on this bike.
