Udall, I like that second Shelby...nice bike.

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.

Well, I posted my queries on the bmxmuseum.com forums...we shall see what their opinions are.

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...

Thanks for your response! That seat used to hurt my rear end like you wouldn't believe. It was NOT designed for comfort, lol...I learned early on to appreciate a proper saddle for comfortable riding. I figured the bike wasn't worth much of anything, but it is kind of a clean survivor. I will...

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...

If you guys find anything going on, please let me know...

I can't wait to see how this build progresses! Take a lot of pics!

Very nice bike. I'd kill for that tank.

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...

WOW. :shock: Just beautiful. Me want, too. But me broke. What is a man-snuggle?

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...

Ahhh, DevilWing...yes the existence of that bike is the reason I was considering the rat route! Very beautiful.

Well, I pulled the trigger and bought BicycleRick's awesome chrome, kickback hub Spaceliner yesterday (viewtopic.php?f=2&t=11028) . Now I got to thinking...what should I do with it? Clean it up and keep it as is? Or rat it out somehow - and I would need ideas and help with this option. I'm kind...

Thanks all for the nice words. Brigmaster, thanks for the lead on the cool Spaceliner. I have already left that gentleman a message. Your have quite the collection, I especially like your girl's bike, the Hawthorn. Very nice, indeed. FaceOFF - I'm down in Cumberland County, closer to Cape May...

Thanks for all the kind comments! BrigmasterA, if you'd like to "get rid" of one of your unwanted Spaceliners then I wouldn't mind being the recipient. They do have great lines and cool tanks. Do you have any pics of yours?

I can't help, myself, but - if you are a member of the "official" Schwinn forum, they have a BMX group there that is very knowledgeable. I am sure they could help you out if you post the pic over there.

I LOVE this bike, VERY well executed. I need to see some more pics!! :D
