    Schwinn klunker build

    I need to remove a link of the chain and adjust the Schwinn cantilever brakes. Oh, almost forgot, picked this up in neighboring Northwest Indiana. I say in very good condition with what looks to be all original parts, except the tires (I think this one came with black and white wall...
