That brings back some memories! I think the only set of Tuff Wheels I had was on my Candy Apple Red Schwinn Mag Scrambler After that, I ran Z-wheels or aluminum wheels since I was always a weight weenie! By around 1981, I realized my skills didn't lend themselves to 3-dimensions so I switched to a road bike by trading my GT for a Raleigh.

Making some progress on my 1952 Rollfast. I got some donor fenders and chainguard off of a 59-60 Schwinn. They were in blue and very nicely patina'd so I decided to paint the Rollfast frame to match (it was silver but missing 75% of it's paint). Lots of fun doing a faux patina job on this frame and forks. So far, I've used a combo of spray paint, primer, coffee grounds, permanent markers in orange and yellow, paint thinner, sand, and enamel model paint
