At school currently, so no photos of its current state, but, Rachel's Schwinn is almost done. Since the last posting, I applied the decals, clearcoated the frame and fork and have begun to hang the parts on her. Even though the old crank was a triple, the new crank slightly rubs on the chainstay, so I'll need a new BB axle. The current one was 119mm and I bought a 126 off of eBay for $12 shipped.
So, waiting on a longer BB axle and some pink brake cable. I've also decided to wrap the handlebars using brown cloth tape with amber shellac. Going to get the tape from VO.
Also am planning on buying this rack and doing what
"stepinthefunk" did (see below). He cut off the outer ring on the rack so its more sleak and minimalist.
The mudguard is also minimalistic to the point of only keeping the brake dry maybe. Looks snappy though.
