My New Ride!!!
I recently picked up this sweet '72 3-speed Schwinn Town and Country trike. I grabbed it because I had one like it in college and always wished I had never gotten rid of it.[gallery]
Now it is mine again!
Unfortunately while this type of bike is great around a town, especially one like Flagstaff where I went to college, here in the mountains it really does not work too well. Too many brutal hills and I think we might have 500 feet of flat ground in my entire town!
So I am going to haul it down to Juice Box's house and store it in his garage. That way when I am in town I can pimp this smooth ride. I can't wait to join up in the pub crawls in this beast!
There are a few things I am going to change on it though. I am going to change the handle bars to a wider almost beach cruiser style bars, change the grips to a sweet original green schwinn grips and although I am not sure how much trouble it will be I want to change it from the 3-speed thumb shift to a two speed kickback.
OHHH YEAH!!!
