Project Bike Number 2

I really enjoyed the process of restoring and building my first bike. The Carlton Single Speed bike is a keeper for sure.
So now I am working on a second bike. It's a 1990s Schwinn Beach Cruiser

This bike will need:

A respray, there are a large number of chips and scrapes
A good polish of the chrome elements
Dents taken out of the mud guards
Service of the 3 speed coaster brake hub
New brake cables and components
Someone to buy it!

Where It Starts

During this period of lock-down, I felt I wanted a hands on project to keep me busy. So following my cycling hobby, I decided to have a go at building a single speed bike from an old frame and second hand parts from the internet. The initial purchase came from ebay of a 1975 Carlton Circuit bike frame and forks, £45 (inc delivery), but it comes with brakes and handle bars, the crank didn't survive being taken apart.. They were the photos from the ebay listing
