Man! There is nothing around me that cool, i would have been stoked to get the best to crap girl schwinn but that corvette and straight bar black schwinn are sweet! were these free :shock:

Yeah it was a 20 inch frame, sold it to some older lady

I had a purple Peugeot like that I loved it , it was completely rust covered.

Eh if i rebuilt everything , and found the right buyer and everything I think 100-140$ tops would have been possible but I am into the quick flip and spending as little time as possible for the next bike. Bikes are just a hobby my real flipping is bass guitars , made abut 2,000$ flipping those...

Re: 59 schwinn tornado "Red" man I am glad you decided to keep it as stock as possible , that is a nice bike and not enough nice old schwinns like that around.

that looks like a typhoon very sweet bike! Yes i dig the patina i cleaned any loose rust of the parts put I wont repaint the bike or touch up anything it earned the scars. I will PM you in a bit thanks alot!

This bike came to me from a guy I get schwinns from , I know he probably grabs them at half the price I pay as he finds them in barns etc. I paid 80$ which I think is a fair/good price for what it is, overall its all original everything ,even the tires and the rims and tires are in fantastic...

I love the generator I got off it, it may find a home on my schwinn.I get really lazy with bike restores unless I keep it , then an 8 hour day busting ... on it is nothing but If I flip a bike I usually leave it as is if i know the difference in cleaning it up is only about 20$.

I went into goodwill, 3 minutes later I was at the register with this. Gigante overall good shape, I saw 12.99$ and just grabbed it , like instinct :D I was thinking I would clean it up and flip it then i got lazy , posted it on craigs for 65$ and it sold for 65$. From buying it to selling it...

Thanks guys i cant believe I got it yesterday , allready put ten hours of work into it. Now it looks kinda clean in the picture but the inner fenders were coated about a 1/4 inch think with old mud, tar grese stuff that took about an hour to get out. The crank area was the same and each spoke...

Thanks, off to home depot, again :mrgreen:

Wow thats a sweet looking bike, I am sure it will clean up well. I am picking up this late 50's schwinn today (thread will be started soon) and with its amount of surface rust i want to soak all parts , rims etc in a big tub. Based in the experience you have of this ZEP do you think I should...

is that a 24 inch like this one? http://cgi.ebay.com/VINTAGE-SCHWINN-BIC ... 2305f0bfc5

I think almond and creme would rock ,

Re: i broke my "never pay more than $50 a bike" rule That bike was well worth the rule breaker , looks sweet but needs different bars for sure IMO.

That blue schwinn is amazing , seriously i want that haha :mrgreen:

I have that frame but its on an all original speedster 1973 weird. I was given a 1977 varsity today in that color but not a camel back it was so trashed and missing so much stuff i took the forks, headset , brake system and scraped the rest . Yours looks great and honestly i dont think that...
