Single Speed Schwinn Suburban

Got this one at my local used shop, no wheels... no problem! always wanted to strip a suburban down and turn it into a coaster braking single speed. So, I got it a new rear 27" wheel with coaster brake hub (surprisingly good braking), cool looking blue tires (just like this one), new tubes, and a new chain (as always). Other then that, the parts that are left are all original.


Ladies Bridgestone Citylimit CB1

This is one a got as a frame and gathered what was needed (like wheels) over the winter. Upgraded it to my favorite EF51 shifters, put on used cranks, new chain, and used v-brakes. And its ready for the road and trails again. I even put on an old Blackburn rear rack so it can carry all sorts of stuff, (Bridgestones are excellent bicycles!)
