    What is this?

    the date code on the rear drop out matches up to a 62 Schwinn, but the frame looks wrong. The guy I got it from painted it nice, and put a rebuilt/painted New Departure on it. All I had to do was swap the junk seat and put on black grips. C232761

    bent fork help

    I have a Shelby Flyer with a bent fork. Its bent at the base. I dont think it can be bent back, and if it could be I dont think it would stay. They are blade type forks with a 7 1.25 head tube. They look like the type of fork that Schwinn used, but I think Schwinn used a shorter head tube. If I...

    2 finds. A Firebolt and a Huffman WF I think.

    I found a Columbia Firebolt! The guy had it repainted and did a nice job with the chain guard. The rear wheel had some slip so I swapped it with another red band I had, it had new Bell tires. I put on some old Goodyears. The pedals were black with little red stripes, I had a set of black with...

    ladies 36 Silver king forks?

    Any idea on forks that would fit this sucker. Nothing I have fits, I thought a set of Murrays would fit but now that I have it home I dont think so. Am I gonna have to hunt down Silver king forks, or have a set of forks welded to fit?

    1980 Schwinn Tornado muscle tweak

    I bought this for no reason at all, it was for sale and I had the cash. I couldnt just not ride it, and since I didnt like the banana seat on my Eliminator, it's back wheel is as wobbly as The Blair Witch Project, I'm waiting for some Monomags to put on it. Cant ride it so I borrowed some parts...

    1980 Schwinn Tornado

    I have a problem...I just cant stop buying bikes. This one is only missing its rear refector, and the handlebar plate. as far as I can tell the rear tube has a slow leak, and the front reflector is cracked.
