The bars look nice without the sponge, there are so many interesting features on this bike ( frame issues aside ) such as the quick release brakes, kickstand attachment, gear shifters on the stem etc. That is why i hope to get the seatstay repaired and then refurbish the mechanics of the bike. The brakes seem okay, the rear mech/derrailer is a little off ad the front mech needs adjusting. The other worry is a rattly BB. There must be something missing or boken inside as the cranks wobble when moved. I suppose i should take the whole thing apart to investigate. If a brazing/respray job is imminent then i guess stripping the whole bike is a must anyway. If anyone has any Schwinn parts they want to sell me i'm all ears.
Pedals of that era would be nice, and some panniers/racks to fulfill my '80s Tourer ideas.
