    Prewar schwinn

    I saw this ad on Craigslist. I didn't want to spend the cash but I couldn't pass on this bike. I think it's a 1973. I need pedals and grips. Possibly a fender ornament or light. Not sure what belongs there. Too bad it's been painted. I didn't even haggle on the price. The seller was a...

    Electra restoration

    I picked this up at my local goodwill outlet for $15. I figured I could flip it for a little profit. Then my niece came over and took the bike for a ride. She fell in love with it and asked if she could have it. So I did some research on removing paint. Took a trip to Lowe's to pick up some...

    87 GT Performer rebuild

    When I was a kid I was dying to get a GT Performer in powder blue. I wanted this bike so bad I could taste it. Of course it was way too expensive so for Christmas I got a 87 Schwinn Predator. Man I was disappointed. So a few years ago I finally picked up my dream bike...well sort of. I did...

    A couple new toys

    I picked up this Huffy cruiser from a garage sale for just $10. I don't normally buy modern bikes especially anything made in China but the price was right and I figured the tires were worth what I paid for the bike. It was somewhat rusty and dirty from sitting in his garage for a while but it...

    68 Ramshorn

    I picked this beast up earlier this summer. I planned on working on it during my surgery recovery time but I didn't consider that I wouldn't be able to lift anything over 10 pounds or strain myself by wrenching on a bike. I sure wish I would have torn this down before my surgery then I would...

    1987 flashback

    I picked up this 1987 GT Performer two weeks ago. I have wanted this bike since I was a kid in 87. Of course the GT was too much money so I got a Schwinn instead. I was pretty excited when I finally saw one on craigslist. It was a little rougher than I wanted but at least I have one now. I...

    20" pre war ballooner

    I saw this listed as a 50's Schwinn on my local craigslist. Asking price is $40 Aren't 20" ballooners pretty rare? Especially pre war bikes? Would this be worth picking up for a flip? If it were a boys bike it would already be mine. Thanks Pat

    What did I get besides rust?

    I just picked up this Schwinn balloon tire bike today. Not sure exactly what it is. Serial number appears to be B99164. Previous owner thought it was factory set up for a whizzer motor with the heavy duty spokes and the way the frame is made. This has the ultra cool plane & train head badge...

    Swingbike Finished!

    I recently picked up a complete swingbike frame off E bay. I had another swingbike frame in the works but the lower frame had to be built from scratch. A friend of a friend was doing the welding job. We made some good progress on the upper frame but the lower frame is still in pieces and it...
