Schwinn conversion
Here's a 1988 Schwinn World Sport I converted for my Dad to ride around in the Florida Keys where he lives. He says his buddies are jealous and want me to build them one.

With a threadless stem. So Amazon.com : Profile Design Threadless Converter (1 - 1/8-Inch) : Bike Stems And Parts : Sports & Outdoors
I didn't know those didn't need spacers still, but I guess it makes sense. Just looks weird

This is one of my SS's, it's a 1963 Higgins Roadster Trike. It's 40/20 and really lovely to ride.

I just finished up this build. Built this for my B-day present. I still need to get pedals, these pedals are from my Bianchi. I also need a final cut on my steer tube. Also a few little final adjustments here and there. But I love the geo of this bike. Its really nice and comfortable for me.

Here's my MIELE single speed.
It's a dumpster rescue and had tubular wheels with cyclo-cross tires on them. The tires were shot and the top tube was cracked at the forward rear brake cable entry hole. Since it was a Columbus SL frame I had the frame repaired and then repainted.
It has Dura Ace AX claipers paired to Tiagra levers, an ACS 20 teeth 3/32" freewheel, Exage crank (that I polished the grey finish off of because i like the semi-aero look of it but detested the finish) with a 49 teeth chainring, Rino pedals, TTT PISTA alloy bars, TTT stem, Shimano 600 Aero seatpost, Bassano saddle and GC Export pump (made in Italy). The wheels are cheap ones I took off a Canadian Tire CCM Presto road bike to experiment with. The rear diisc covers were made by Pawsch (sp?) and I just replaced the nutted wheel axles with the same threading quick release ones I got about 1 week ago. I just transferred all the parts from the old axles to the new ones. I rebuilt the front wheel with a radial spoke pattern for looks. I have three of those Shimao aero water bottles and cages.
