Hello Terry.....that would be awsome......still in the process of working on my bike and a ways to go. I even got a friend already looking for a cheap frame to get started himself. i found a craigslist find for me a 64 shwinn tornado. right now its torn down and getting ready to paint. if you...

So many ideas i dont know which way to go.....but i have alot of directions to go depending on the style fork i will use...thanks everyone!

Yea i have a few ideas for the tyhoon right now. Got it tore down now and cleaning up. the Breeze is for my daugter just needing new tires.

Found both of these 2 days apart 25 dollars on the red 64 typhoon....and 15 dollars for the 71 breeze.

Those are really cool!

what would be the headset size on a 1964 schwinn typhoon? i am a little green when it comes to these bikes, being i havent worked on one or really mess with a bike since the late 80s. Thanks

I am a bigger guy around 275# i am looking into puting springer forks on my bike and i am wondering if there is a fork made out there that can support that. Thanks Duane
