    Schwinn pixie

    I have a red one like that, but with much worse fenders. It has pneumatic tires, IIRC it depends on the year if they have the hard tires or not. Nice deal. I have training wheels on it for my several grandkids. :)

    schwinn twinn tandem

    There are single speed, 2-speed kickbacks, and 5-speeds. The single and 2-speed I believe are all middle weight 26" wheels. In the early 70s, IIRC, the 5speeds went to a light weight tire. All were 26". I agree, the idler seems to be behind the pedal. The 5 speed has the drum brake, and the...

    1964 single speed Schwinn Traveler

    I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but... That appears to be a two-speed kickback rear hub, not a one speed. Nice find!

    Long tandem

    Front sprocket is on the left, like an old Schwinn Town and Country. Rear (middle) is a double, so it is at least a 10 speed. I have a Twinn, and this looks longer. I thought mine was long enough! :D

    Long tandem

    Any idea what this is? http://desmoines.craigslist.org/bik/4237811849.html And yeah, I know long tandem is redundant. :)

    My first build.

    Nice to see someone from my area. :) I recognized the Galaxy Flyer from the DSM CL. I like it, but I tend more toward original bikes, 60s and 70s. Good job on getting it for a good price. Lot of good info on this board! Good luck on your build!
