This is a conversion that I'm working on. The frame is a 1973 Schwinn Continental.

Don---Great advice about the air canister. I recently put some Ourys on these risers I was given, and I had a hard time w/ it. First I used nail polish remover but the grips woudn't set, not even after I left them for a day. Then I took them off and put them back on w/ just a drop or 2 of water but even that took a few hours to set. Now they are pretty firm, though. I had heard about the air technique, but I didn't have an air compresser and didn't even think of computer cleaner! I will use that when I want to get the Ourys off (if I ever need to)
Dion---Bike looks way better now, IMO. The white rims are good looking on it. My gf (jean) has that fork, and I think it's pretty solid.

Bicycle Repair Man !!!
Those old Schwinns are excellent candidates for conversion as long as they aren't Paramounts... I can't imagine a tougher urban rig than an old electroforged Schwinn although they do come with quite a weight penalty.
