I picked up a frame last night.
Schwinn 1980something World Sport.
Lugged steel
Horziontal dropouts not that long (I will drill them)
$25 from craigslist land
The bike is in great shape. I feel bad ripping it apart. It rode smooth and shifted with little problems. I figure I can sell the parts I'm removing and recover the 25 I paid for the bike. The paint is ugly as hell, but I don't care because I will be repainting the bike.
The guy said he had 28 emails within hours of posting it. He saved it for me because I emailed him first. It seems old road bikes go fast in this area.
I spent most of last night removing parts. I am nearly down. I need to get a few tools for the rest.
Does anyone have a blow torch? I want to remove the braze-ons and I read you can heat them and they come right off.
