Nice Schwinn stuff Chris
It is interesting how Schwinn frames were used in the 1970's for home built BMX bikes and Mountain Bikes before you can buy a BMX or MTB bike.
After reading the book "Flat Tire Flyer" about the history of Mountain Biking , I built a 1953 Schwinn Hornet like the bike on the cover of the book.
I used mostly 1970s parts like they did for these early home built MTBs. Dirt motorcycle handle bars and levers, front drum brake, 1970s road bike parts, etc
I still need to get some 1970's style tires for it like on the book cover bike
