Thanks, guys. I am keeping the bike...was just wondering if it had any monetary value apart from the sentimental value I have placed on it. I've never really thought about BMX bikes even really having collectability and value, but I've since been educated. Back in the day, I never really...
Just another NJ state government "money grab". Check it out... http://www.njleg.state.nj.us/2010/Bills ... 657_I1.HTM
$20 for a two year registration, or subject to a $100 fine if caught riding on state roads without a license plate.
Sentimental value isn't something to be easily discounted. I spent a lot of time and money finding, buying and fixing my current black '63 Schwinn Fleet....all to replace the original black Fleet that I had carelessly left out on my parents' back patio one summer evening where it was then swiped.
Thanks for the response. It's cherry but it is really kind of dirty in the pics, I just cleaned the gold anodized wheels quickly with some Simple Green before taking the picture. I think the bike would be from 1984. Somewhere I still have the original owner's manual, too. Think it has Stu...

Apologies for the basement pics. Got the bike brand new for my 10th (or was it my 11th?) birthday. Never seen another one out there and not much information out there on the internet on them. I know it probably came from K-Mart or someplace like that back in the day as Mom & Dad didn't have much...
Hello - first of all, that is one CLEAN bike you have there. Those reverse-screened FLEET chainguard decals are usually faded and don't hold up well to wear and abuse. Yours looks crisp and fresh. You may want to consider clearcoating it or at least waxing it (WAX, not rubbing compound) in order...
Just wanted to show off a few (admittedly bad) pics of my girl's project Huffy Eldorado. I found it on the Schwinn site and picked it up for $25.
Already began on rust removal from the chrome plated fenders, using 0000 steel wool and WD-40. Going to get her some wide whites and trying to...
