schwinn

Here's a little video of where it's starting. I wanted to ride it around for a bit before i cut it up to see if I had any other issues to take care of. What I didn't show in the time-lapse was trying to straighten out the rear end of the bike - more like spaghetti than seat/chain stays. And...

It was the classic Schwinn straight bar Klunker that caught my eye and got me reinterested in bicycles as I neared retirement age. In my search for a Straightbar I found out that there was more than one style. I'll share what I think I know and hope for some input/insight from some of the sages...

This is an early (March '64) survivor. It's a rare color and a great rider. Has the early 36 spoke rear wheel and early headset. This is a great riding bike, it was completely disassembled cleaned and re-greased. The only non-original parts are the seat (recovered by Odder) the tires and the...

I picked this baby tonight. Me, not being a Schwinn-phile, need some help on identifying this puppy. Thinking that the serial number was on the bottom of the crank, looked, nada, could be hidden under the tank on the frame? I can still see the "Schwinn" decal ghosting under all of that blue...

Hey RRB community! Long ago, I had an account here, and it didn't get far because I couldn't upload photos. Now I have that ability, so I'm back! I'm a professional bike mechanic, and a vintage bike specialist. I have a real weakness for AMF bikes. Pictured are my 1960s Skyrider Deluxe rat...

I am looking for a Vintage Schwinn "S" Seat in Yellow, (shown below) any condition would probably suffice. Thanks.

I was told I needed to join this forum by some fellow riders. Excited to see what I can learn and also post some of the bikes I bring back to life. I got bit by the vintage bike bug while doing a bar crawl on bikes and started hunting down sweet vintage bikes ever since! I've narrowed the...

Serial Number dates it at 1959. Schwinn Speedster. More rust than Blue, none the less this bike is going to need some works and a lot of PB blaster! She will ride again though...

So the event went well last week. A great turnout for the van meet. I hung out with some cool dudes and chicks that were all equally impressed by my Schwinn as I was of their vans. Some even mentioned that they too were going to start a beach cruiser build. A little inception happening there. I...

Hey guys, I picked this Schwinn Windwood cruiser up on Craigslist for $5 My plan is to strip it to bare metal, and go with a bobber style stance. Low seat, medium rise handlebars. So far I've replaced the chain, pumped up the tires and purchased a vintage Mesinger seat off ebay (two tone black...

I got hired to rebuild this awesome 61 Schwinn Panther III by a family friend, so far I'm stoked on this project. I like the addition of the homie haulers. One of the best decals ever :inlove:. I also got the whole thing broke down today, already looks good with just a WD-40 rub down.

I got all 4 of these in a package deal a few day ago!!! Came out of a garage attic out on a farm! All covered in farm fresh bird poop! 1949 Schwinn (with locking springer) 1966 Deluxe Typhoon Lil Tiger 1964 Super Deluxe Stingray!!!

Stand out from the crowd with this rare 26" 1939 Schwinn Autocyle frame. Brass Lincoln Badge. It's a bit dirty, but pictures below show the detail. Shipping to lower 48. Location: North Carolina Price: $275 + shipping

Here is a set of Schwinn Script Cantilever Bolt On Front Brakes for sale. These are a classic Klunker piece that add that genuine look and functionality to your off road build. These don't come up for sale too often, so now's your chance. These have been sitting in storage for a couple of years...

Back in 2011 @yoothgeye picked up this Schwinn King Sting and then later sold it to his brother-in-law @Whitfield. @Whitfield saw me post a pic of the silver and blue King Sting I picked up a couple of weeks ago and posted a photo of the bike he still had. He mentioned that he was considering...

Selling my custom built October 1979 Schwinn Cruiser. I had the frame and fork powder coated candy apple blue and applied a set of vinyl reproduction decals. The wheel set was professionally built using new Sturmey Archer internally geared 3 speed freewheel drum brake hubs, vintage chrome...

My daughter grew out of her mountain bike, so I turned it into a Stingray using seat and handlebar parts from a modern (and cheap) Chinese Schwinn stingray. I wanted to get the proportions, look, and feel close to a 1970s Schwinn Stingray fastback but full-sized for me to ride and using modern...

I just was given this, according to serial number and the original owner, 51 Schwinn straight bar. He was given it for Christmas in 1951 when he was 9. He lived on a farm and he and the bike had went through everything together. It has some mismatched parts, which he explained. The fenders look...

Greetings Happy to be a part of this Anything Goes Build-Off. I've enjoyed checking out many of the great rat rods yall put together for years. Respect to all those before me and us. I Never had a vintage build that I was inclined to share, but I've been gearing up for it and recently had the...

Greetings and salutations from the CABE. This is my first post on RRB and have been looking forward to the WBO for about a year now. My whole project started when I bought a 1948 Schwinn DX with a Chinese motor. The motor didn't have enough power for what I wanted to do, so I set out on a...
