This is the 6th installment of a Very Delayed part series (if Murphy’s Law has anything to do with it) on upgrading an old Schwinn Collegiate to a practical and pleasing daily bicycle for transportation.

As you may have guessed, we haven’t had much of a chance to focus on ole Murphy in the last two weeks. 

Here are the answers to some of your questions:

• No, we haven’t forgotten about it.
• Yes, we have the parts needed to “mock-up” the bike.  And yes, the parts have a little bit of dust on them.
• No, we aren’t holding out on you — we just haven’t “mocked” yet.
• Yes, we intended to finish this project.
• Yes, business is still brisk even though the traditional “season” is coming to a close.  And Yes, we are thankful for this.
• No, the bike is not for sale yet. (But keep in mind that the proceeds will go to a very worthy cause.)
• Yes, we are working on a “Build Package” that will help turn your classic 10-speed into a worthy City Bike.

So basically, we’ve been working fast and furious this week, but haven’t had quite enough time to attend to The Murphy.  But don’t worry, it hasn’t been forgotten.
