Well, I usually keep things after I clean them so who knows. Haha

Thanks for the reply and info. I agree. I may just strip everything off, make it look good enough to sell and just part it out.

I have this 1953 20" Scwhinn Spitfire (I believe that's what it is from Serial number and headbadge) that came in a bundle buy I purchased a few months ago. I'm trying to clear out some of my bikes, especially my "child" bikes, but I may keep this one IF I think I can restore it. It's really in...

Thanks guys. I haven't been to swap meets or other local markets in a while since the pandemic. This is why I was looking online. It's crazy how bikes and parts have been so popular since all the stay at home orders. I went to Walmart yesterday and just saw two bikes and a handful of tires and...

I know RRB sponsors, but I am looking for places online that have he cheapest 24x1.75-2.25 tires. White walls or even colored tires. Anyone have any suggestions? I've been searching Amazon, eBay, ClydeJames and just browsing on the net and just can't seem to find too many places with prices I...

I am in the process of restoring this bike for my uncle as a Valentine's surprise for his wife. The serial number is D444665 so I know the year is 1964, but not sure on the model. I just realized that the upper bar has some tabs on the bottom of it which I am guessing is for a slimline tank. Can...

:thumbsup:

Still available?

Let me know how the pending goes. I may be interested after I test out the 3-speed on a family member's bike restore.

oops, I have no idea why I thought the deadline was 8/31. :(

Well, I have another build HERE, but I bought a Schwinn Tandem bike and my wife wants it redone for our Vintage Rental business as an item to be rented out for photo shoots, weddings and events so it will hopefully be ready in 1-2 weeks since it took precedent to my other build, which really...
