1968 Schwinn Fastback 5 speed






































I believe this was the second bike I purchased. I found this one on Craigslist and I picked it up from the oringinal owner in a closed down bar in Manhattan that was being brought back to life. Much like the bar this bike was in need of some TLC when I got it. I replaced the seat with a Pete seat (officially licensed reproduction seat) and I got to work cleaning all the rust off the chrome etc. I think at the end of the day I ended up with a pretty nice ride.
