I'm not sure if this is the right section to post this in. I was just wondering if anyone has any information about this bike. I'd like to know what year it might be? The seller is asking $225. Is this a fair price or should I shoot him an offer. I came across this at a fleamarket last week...

That's awesome! I've never seen anything like that. I'd really like to find a Steelers bike.

Hello my name is Brian and I live in Lincoln, NE. I've actually posted a couple times without doing an intro and I appologize for that. :| I first got in to classic bikes at a young age. I found a 63' Typhoon in a friends barn and his parents let me have it. At the time I attempted to...

I have a Schwinn Hornet with the seriel number C95511. According to the date chart it could have been built 07/01/52-07/02/52 or 11/13/53-11/25/53. I checked the crank and didn't see any date stamps. Just the "A.S. & CO." and what looks to be a "18". Is there anyway of narrowing this down to...

Just purchased this bike on craigslist for $125 sight unseen. The ad said it was a 70's Schwinn Hornet. Did they make the Hornet in the 70's? I did a little searching online and could only find Hornets from the 50's. Hopefully this will be a good purchase. I'll post more pics when I take...

I never noticed the fork. Thanks for pointing that out. After comparing it to other bikes. I can definitely see the difference. Is that something I could fix easily? Would it be best just to replace it? This may be a good excuse to buy a springer fork. Do they make springer forks for 24"...

I'm currently building a 1962 Schwinn Typhoon. I purchased this bike about 20 years ago when I was a kid. After a few repaints and new wheels. I'm stuck at what to do about a seat and handlebars. The bike is a 24" and a little small for me. With a standard seat and cruiser handlebars my...
