MisterBlisteredlips on December 9, 2021 2:29 am I had a 5 speed Schwinn from the 70s. I ditched the sissy bar for a ten speed seat, and removed the 5 speed shifter, leaving it in 5th. I’m a big guy so I could pedal it still. People would try to ride it and just fall over trying to start pedalling.

You hit a home run with this, total modern retro
That bike deserves a better picture.

So you added brakes and changed the cog?
