Hi Ed, what went into the making of your bike?

What kind of handlebars do you plan on using?

I did a few things too it. It started out as a womens frame. Looked to be a Schwinn, but im not positive. I extended the front fork, I then pitched the neck. I cut the seat post, and moved it back pretty far, fabricated the rear bars. Then Used a piece of ree bar for the top bar. I tig welded everything, so the welds look pretty, I didnt grind them because I like when you can see the work that goes into it.

Then i painted it all flat black.

I want to run some sort of high rise chopper bars. I may make a set out of aluminum tube, and polish it.
