Luckily, I was able to dig up a Scrambler sprocket from deep within the sprocket bin of my LBS. Oh, and I found a set of silver metal flake and orange Schwinn vinyl BMX pads on the BMXmuseum that I pretty sure I am going to throw on. I was able to source about 95% of my build from what was on the Racks & Bins in my shop but I came up short on a Scrambler Sprocket and a Dia-Compe straight lever. With this plan in mind, the Rack & Bin Cruiser (R&B) should be a lot of fun and a challenge to build. Almost everything I have has been sourced here in Pittsburgh from scrapper, hoarders, BMX collectors, Swap Meets, and at my LBS, which has bought out 36 bike shops in the past 35 years- it's a pickers paradise. So, I thought it would be fun to see if I could do a build just with the stuff I have on the Racks and in the Bins of my shop. The 1982 Schwinn Scrambler R&B 22" CruiserĪfter 100's of bike restorations, I have accumulated a LOT of spare parts. So, with this coupling, I thought that I would do a 22 inch cruiser for the Open Class BMXmuseum Calendar Build off for 2016. After trying every fork I had in my shop (about 15 at the time), I found that a NOS WALD replacement fork had more than enough room to accommodate the 22 inch front wheel.
From restoring lots of old Schwinn's, I know that there is a lot of room in the rear stays so i tried the 22's on a 1982 Scrambler. I was psyched when I scored a set from a lot of 22 bikes that I bought- Suzue hubs laced to Ukai rims with OG Scwhinn tires 22 X 2.175.Ģ2 Inch wheels and a 1982 Schwinn Scrambler. I had seen 22 inch NOS freestyle tires at my local bikes shop and was told that they were left overs from Schwinn trying out 22 inch wheels for a few years in the early to mid 80's. This summer, I scored a 22 inch Schwinn from the early 80's. 1984 22 inch Ukai Rims laced to Suzue Hubs
