    Looky what I found this morning on trash day. I know it's a Huffy, but other than that I have no idea. But it has ramshorn bars on it. Not too bad for a freebie!

    The Sexy Rexy

    I've had some downtime recently and have been able to finally start working on my bike. It's a 61 Schwinn Spitfire, and I'm calling it Sexy Rexy. I put it together to see how it would look, and I'm torn between the two forks I have. One, the green one in the picture is from a Schwinn...

    Schwinn cast frames?

    I was wondering if anyone knows if Schwinn ever used a cast frame? I've got on old bike frame I found in a barn a while back, and am in the process of tearing it down to strip the paint off and it looked like the steering neck is a cast piece.
