My Mega Modernization Project of a Vintage Schwinn Varstiy!

In the month of August, 2011, I was given a Schwinn Varsity frame, fork, and various other parts. I was planning the build project to be a restoration, but I was sorely wrong. Finding the correct parts, i.e., 27 inch wheelset, 1 piece crankset, was to complicated, I then decided I was going to modernize the all-American steel frame!

Bicycles are Rad

When designing a bike, I start out with the generic frame, then sculpt the lines to make some pretty radical bikes. When designing a bike, I keep in mind the structure; bikes are made of triangles... Well, the simple ones are...

Long Reach Brake Calipers.... December?

Ok my custom bike is a 78' Schwinn Varsity and I wanted to put 700c rims on them well to turn a 27" frame to a 700c meant I needed Long Reach Brake Calipers... but they're out of stock!!!! So I stopped by the Silverdale Cyclery and they had 27" aluminium rims, THERE IS A GOD!!!! So all I need is new brake calipers and pads.
