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

    I 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 nowEmbarassed, wish I had kept it.  Great job on the refurbishment.  AKA on Ebay, mechanicalhouse.

    Hi 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.
