Chopped Schwinn single speed

This is cool. I love pictures of stuff being welded. New frame looks heaps better, somehow faster, you should paint it red to get faster still. Actually it looks pretty good raw, also raw is so hot right now.

thanks Harold, I def. going for red of somesort, I'm doing the work at my mates car restoration place so he wants to do something special with the paint so no go with the raw look.

AWESOME!

Really, really love this build.

On the colour, I'd say do both. Black on the very bottom 1/3, running horizontally fading upwards into a candy red. Plus if you matched the rims to the bottom black I recon it would look awesome.

As for the brooks, I'd go for something like a black flyer. Sprung but not too sprung...if that makes sense.

I'm not a big fan of the sprung seat look, was thinking something "faster" looking. I'd like to of painted the rims but unemployment and lack funds is holding me back (I'm having trouble just getting enough cash to lace up the rear wheel.) I tried a fade on the "garage" bike used for going down to the postbox (its close by the way). And also was thinking of using a "harsh" fade on a TT bike I'm restoring so was thinking of keeping the cruiser simpler.

Are you using TIG?

yep TIG, I practised on the mini bike above as it needed repairs and strength for the weight of some of my friends, its been tested at 25 stone so far with the all new intergrated layback flex of the handlebar seatpost...

Just dib'sed a new solid chaninring from mdcc so might try filing out a logo in it or painting it frame colour as the current one looks too "off the shelf"
