    a bout time

    I worked on the bike a little today. Installed the fork, crank and shifter. Sorry for the bad photo, but I hope you can make out the progress.

    a bout time

    No progress on this bike whatsoever. The studio I work for just lost funding and had to let most of the staff go. So, that means that I will not be buying anything for the bike until I get work. It is a shame, I had some good ideas about putting a folding wheelie bar on the back too. I guess it...

    a bout time

    I still need a runabout neck... It seems like people want an electric chopper, so I'll go that route. I still need the thing to be compact, because that is the whole point of having such a small frame. I think I can get away with a chopper that can be folded up.

    a bout time

    I mocked it up, and it might just be both... maybe a good mix of parts. Might try a springer on it to see what happens.

    a bout time

    Just picked up a run-a-bout frame at long beach swap. I already have a complete run-a-bout, so this one will be custom. I am still deciding if the bike will have fun chopper stuff on it, or to make a really small electric bike... stay tuned.

    prewar schwinn tandem

    nice! I have three schwinn tandems also! This one, a Mini-Twinn and a town and country that looks like this with the drum brakes: I have a lead on a 28" triple crown fork that is really similar to what should go on it... It will need to be modified to accept the steering arms from the rear...

    prewar schwinn tandem

    just saw my bike's cousin on the other great bike website: http://thecabe.com/forum/threads/1898-schwinn-the-world-bicycle-with-original-paint-nickel-plating.94423/ also, I picked up the correct crank for the tandem! Now I just need the correct fork, and a ton of other stuff....

    prewar schwinn tandem

    I still have the tandem. It is in storage, while I am so busy with work and life, that sadly I don't have much time for bikes.

    prewar schwinn tandem

    prewar schwinn tandem

    My plans are to put it in storage until I save some money and find some much needed parts. I will be looking for the (probably impossible) correct cranks, rims, tires, and possibly a better set of chains. These chains are extra thick! They are wider than a normal skip tooth chain. Or...

    prewar schwinn tandem

    I picked up this old schwinn tandem yesterday. There are a few incorrect parts: front tire, neck, crank, pedals... I would like to narrow down a year for it, but for now I am guessing TOC-1930?? Please let me know if there is any information other than the Ignaz Schwinn family bike, and the 1899...
