The final piece my custom schwinn was needing, a custom shifter topped with an 8-ball knob
Edit: yes, it's fully functional, it is paired with a 4-speed internal gear hub.

That’s hilarious and awesome. I wish it was functional!
Daymmm
How do you shift if you only have one gear?
That’s SICK.
That looks good. Cool that it’s functional too!
that’s money
You’re gonna get so much action riding this thing. I’m talking people yelling their phone number, throwing their underwear at you, suitors chasing you down the street. This bike *fucks*.
That’s so dope, you must get weird looks.
I have two questions, what country was it built in, and can you put it in H?
Can you ask it questions?
Love it.
When I was a kid I used to ride my Dad’s old bike. Blue with a racing theme, center frame mounted hand brake, and a steering wheel. I loved being the only one with a steering wheel on the bike. It was just so unique.

It had lost the banana seat by the time I rode it but it was still great.
Got any photos of the mechanics and the hookups. I’m really curious about how this works.
Super dope
Awesome!
Have you considered replacing the handle bars with a steering wheel?
Did you do the fit kit service at the shop?
Incredible. Love the build.
Probably a dumb question but I’ve wondered it since first seeing these bikes. Does the fork being bent that much put it at higher risk of fatigue/breaking?
I’m sure probably not but on some of my bikes when I’m really moving and pushing it especially on downhills the solid forks take a lot of abuse. I’d hate to have it break and need a new jaw or something lol. I love the bike though!
As a Schwinn lover its sexy!
