Better yet, allow yourself enough brake wire to make some heavy duty FRS straps out of the excess, while allowing the wire to still be attached and functioning the brakes.

The last couple kickstands I weighed were 500 grams. with a lock or tree or lightpost the kickstand is useless and most sag after a while and the annoying thing hits the pedals. Bikes fall over too often with stands anyway. Keep the chrome post and stem in my opinion. Thanks

I hear you guys…I’m gonna go the other way here. I’d like to see about 25 more feet of brake cable. Maybe you could wrap the entire bike with it.

Yeah that brake wire just looks messy. And the bike looks good overall but I wouldve gone with a black seatpost, crank and stem. Also, you could lose more weight by tossing that wretched kickstand.

A Schwinn Varsity on a diet. A good move. I had a 76 10 speed and was always amazed at the weight every time I took it down a flight of stairs. Someone stole it while I was cutting grass in the front and the bike in back. Hope the thief hit a tree. Nice conversion but lock it up when you leave it.

Using brakes on a non-machined wheel is not a great idea. Also shorten that cable housing. I like the frame though.
