A new life for a Classic Mountain Bike

This fella came in with a Schwinn Four-Banger Frame set. And a Gary Fisher mountain bike. And asked me to put the components from the Gary Fisher onto the Schwinn. It worked out that almost everything fit, so here we go. Pretty sweet little ride, for not a huge investment.

Phew, that's light!

> Here's a bike that a gentleman brought in the frame, & pretty much everything else, for me to put together. He's an importer & had all this stuff made with his company's name.
> Total bike weight=16.4lbs

A new lease on life for this old Cruiser

I actually managed to get a before and after pic on this one.
50 era cruiser, total overhaul, new saddle and grips, rebuilt the rear wheel around a new hub.
My man Duane over at Chester Cycle did a great job on the paint.

Testing the Waters

This is a Surly Cross Check, I built up using all the Components from a Fuji Cross Comp. It is the First "Road Bike" a dedicated Mountain Bike customer of ours has ever had, and he is loving it.
