Four Crusty Schwinns

[Phiredog]

Found these on craigslist last weekend. Got the missing seats along a Schwinn rear basket and a mirror:

They don't look bad at all, lots of potential.

Other than the chrome being terrible, they are all salvageable if for only parts. The 26 in Typhoon is cleaning up pretty good. The three speed is working after I replaced the cable. The tires that were on it are still holding air. I've been riding it around my hilly neighborhood. Will probably lose the fenders and add a Schwinn Mesinger seat I've got laying around; then again the Heavy Duty seat is pretty comfortable. I may replace the bent forks on a 63 Corvette with the heavy duty forks.

Nice Schwinn lot.
