Re: my 52 custom schwinn ( update 12/28/09 ) That's a real orange dreamcycle, da bomb! Nice going.

I seen a toy at a John Deere dealership in a display case of a moose riding a green JD bicycle with white tires. The cast iron toy was not old and most likely sold at or given away to JD dealers in this century. Thought I'd throw a pair of white nylons on my '57 Deere painted & dropped Monark :)

I'm in and bringing friends, a straight shot for me on I-70 :D

I'd really like to be able to pin down a model year. I first thought it was from 1998 but the color scheme black/red were not 1998 offerings. This bike looks nearly new after a light wash/waxing, a couple of stickers one on the chainguard reads Genuine Authentic Schwinn the other on the downtube...

I love the Bluebirds & Skylarks, nice catch :D

I took your advise deorman and laced it up 4-cross, spokes are tighter but a few threads are showing past the nipples. Hopefully a trueing tomorrow will solve this problem.

I bought from an ebay seller "spokes for your balloon tire + middleweight 26in wheels". I laced up the front drop-center rim with spokes and their a little long. The pattern I used for lacing I copied from a Schwinn typhoon 26" wheel. The spoke lenght I bought were 10 9/16" long, would this be...
