I threw this girls Schwinn ballooner together for me to ride at our clubs upcoming “Ladies Night”. When I went to tear it down I encountered a couple of obstacles. First the seat post was stuck in a low position but I can live with that no more than I”ll be riding it. Second the stem”s wedge nut was stuck in the fork tube. I didn”t want to take the time or make the effort to get it out so I lopped off the fork tube and welded another one back on. The wheels, tires and grips are off the Chalkboard Bike and the seat, crank, sprocket, gooseneck and bars I had stashed away. The bike rides great with the big cushy tires and the 2 speed kickback. More photos here.
Here”s the flyer I made for the ride…
