Shin Schwinn: Schwinn Traveler - Rebuild
http://shinschwinn.blogspot.com/2012/06/schwinn-traveler-rebuild.html
Saturday, June 23, 2012. Schwinn Traveler - Rebuild. Here is a Schwinn Traveler Single Speed with Coaster Brake that. Needed a complete rebuild. This is the frame with most of the parts disassembled. It's a nice frame! All the parts were degreased and washed. See the Shin Process. This is the bottom headset being re-greased. This is looking great so far. Most of it is put back together and awaiting wheels! Clean and shiny. Use degreaser for and a finer brass brush to get the tighter spots if needed!

Shin Schwinn: Schwinn Traveler
http://shinschwinn.blogspot.com/2012/06/schwinn-traveler.html
Saturday, June 23, 2012. Here it is, the fully restored bike! Frame, fenders, and chain guard all in really great shape! I replaced the existing spring saddle with a classic Schwinn 2 tone seat used on deluxe model Suburbans. I can't say enough about how much I love the generator light sets. Rewired and working perfectly. Coaster brake working strong. One last parting shot of the blue beauty! Thanks John E. for bringing this bike to Shin Schwinn for restoration! June 29, 2012 at 3:14 PM.

Shin Schwinn: Raleigh Olympian Single Speed $250
http://shinschwinn.blogspot.com/2012/05/raleigh-olympian-single-speed-250.html
Tuesday, May 15, 2012. Raleigh Olympian Single Speed $250. This is a 80's Raleigh Olympian frame that I tinkered around with for a while before finishing up. I got the frame from a student leaving Chicago. She graduated to a newer model Motobecane but this was her single speed ride. I was able to find the original cranks but that's about it so I kept it single speed. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Shin Schwinn: April 2012
http://shinschwinn.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 2, 2012. Took this pic in Tokyo at the Tskiji Fish Market during a trip out there. This is pretty awesome! A Dutch cruiser with rod brakes. How do they keep them from rusting or mis-aligning? I've not had the opportunity to work with a bike like this but I'll have to put this on my to-do list in the future. Sunday, April 1, 2012. Haulin' Bikes back to the workshop! A Blue Mens Schwinn Suburban and a Green Womens. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. They are all destined fo...

Shin Schwinn: May 2011
http://shinschwinn.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 25, 2011. Schwinn Varsity 10 Speed Red Rocket - $200 - SOLD. This is the bike detailed in the previous post on the Shin Process. It's a dramatic change from when I first got this bike and it was worth the effort. I had only the bar tape left to add on and I was deciding on what color when a friend of mine saw it and just had to have it! 10 speed with all the original parts, wheels and seat! Thanks Max for needing a road bike that just happened to be just your size! View my complete profile.

Shin Schwinn: March 2012
http://shinschwinn.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 26, 2012. Schwinn Varsity Red Women's Frame - $175. First rebuild of the year! A 19" women's Varsity frame with 26" wheels. Can you believe this is how it started. What a mess. Time to start the Shin Process! Polished Chrome and fresh Lube! New tires, cables and housings, tubes and bar wrap. This was restored in conjunction with the Red Varsity Men's frame. I took a break between the two so that's why this post is so behind! WHOA, I know.It's time to branch out. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Shin Schwinn: September 2014
http://shinschwinn.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 18, 2014. Homemade Headset Removal Tool. Basically what I created is a specialized chisel using a 1"tube with one end cut into quarters about 4" down and splayed open slightly. I made sure my tube was longer than the head tube. When the non-cut end is inserted the splayed end gets squeezed into the tube and after it passes the cups, it springs out over the lip evenly with a satisfying snap. All that's left is to tap it out with my rubber mallet. Voila! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Friday, February 8, 2013. Bianchi Single Speed Rebuild. Welcome back to Shin Schwinn! It's been a while because we've moved! The ShSch shop is now located in Batavia, Il! I'm still working on getting the shop set up just right but for now it's at least up and running! The first job in the new shop: An 80's Bianchi road bike in their signature Celeste Green color. This is a restore and rebuild project for my friend Andy A. who is looking to make this a winter single speed. Let's strip it naked! Here's the...
