I rebuilt this bike from the ground up replacing all the consumable components with white ones. I even managed to find white brake pads. The drive train is all original. When I have it sitting next to the red one it looks like I have the angel and the devil hanging out next to each other in the garage, hehe. The bar tape on the red one has a snakeskin pattern on it.

    Victor S., The red one is nice, but I’m really digging the blue one. I just love the way that you introduced white into the solid blue Schwinn frame. Quite the artist touch and one fine looking classy ride.

    That blue is incredible-just gorgeous and the selection of white “consumables” really sets it off. Chapeau!
