No Rev.Schwinn,I didn't chop the original bars.They were a pair of drop bars that were smahed on one side.I think I have a pair that may pass for originals and since I still have the collegiate,I will take the whole bar-brake lever assembly off and get it to look correct.Thanks for the info.I have a hard time with this site and my computer skills leave a little to be desired.I forget which posts I replied to,so I have to check the search by user name section.This is awesome though.
