A SCHWINN RESURRECTED

This bike was an old Schwinn World Sport that I bought for my wife at a thrift store a couple of years ago.  For Christmas '07 I took it apart, painted the frame, buffed out all the rust from the components, and put the whole thing back together.  This was the first bike project that I undertook on a large scale, and I think it came out pretty nice.  I still want to apply new decals and put new rims on it at some point, as well as some chrome fenders and whitewall tires (both hard to come by for 27" wheels.)  As always, thanks to my dad for his advice and assistance.  I definitely caught the rebuilding bug on this one.
