MemberI designed it myself on my computer and then printed it out on sticker decal paper. If you need the artwork just let me know.

MemberI sold my bike just like that on Ebay more than a year ago. It’s original picture is here http://www.bonustomato.com/sites/default/files/images/2001%20Schwinn%20Straight%206-2_0.jpg
It looks like the same fork, headset and lizardskin. I didn’t sell my frame with the XTR as you see in the above linked photo. Plus I think I did sell it with a funky blue or purple Specialed stem??? Memory issues. Frame looks great now
, wish I had kept it. Great job on the refurbishment. AKA on Ebay, mechanicalhouse.June 23, 2011 at 3:23 pm #321718hands
MemberHi Eric,
Yes I rode the bike for a season the way you sold it to me but over time I bought other components on ebay to rebuild the bike.
Including a 9 speed conversion with derailleur, 9 speed chain, cassette, and shifter. The CrossMax ST wheels was the last piece of the puzzle to rebuild the ride. My local bike shop had a heck of a time trying to mount the Schwalbe tires on the rims. Took 2 of them 4 hours until I called Schwalbe and they explained to them what to do. BTW Schwalbe has excellent customer service. They actually pick up the phone and talk to you right away. No machine.
