Little project I did this weekend... had an old vinyl seat I wanted to paint up. Bought up some SEM paint, made for painting leather and vinyl/plastic. Its a two part system. They require a surface prep which is fully understandable seeing as its a flexible surface. Here are the products...

Hello, I have some NOS Weinmann cables I need to cut down for a 1967 Schwinn Ramshorn. What length do I need to go for each cable/tube? Thank you!!!

I have three derailers I need to get up and running, two Fastbacks and a Krate. All three of them are rusted up to the point I cannot get the nut off that holds the shifter cable.... Do they make rebuild kits for these?? Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hello, just curious who makes or sells the best shock kit for a krate? Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Swap sheet post came through for me today! Had a gentleman call me up with this for sale. $50 bucks cash and it was mine. He is still looking for the rams horn handle bars for me. Said I'd pay extra for those! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hello just had these bikes handed to me. Can I get some help figuring out what I have? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Picked this up for a customer who wants one rebuilt for him. Great paint yet, and the chrome is cleaning up real well. Just need a few replacement original parts. Neck, seat post, rear wheel is bent so a new one. Probably gonna run the remake silver seat to keep costs down. And needs a front...

Hello, I am curious if a children's carrier will fit on an old Schwinn Hollywood. Full size bike. Woman's version... Something along the lines of this.

Have a friend with this bike he found. Not sure if it's a newer bike or something vintage? Anyone know the brand and or some idea on year??

Figured I'd start build thread for my new ride! I was initially told it was a 1969, but after pulling the crank and running the serial number it's in fact a 1968! First year for the krates! The frame has been repainted, color matched pretty well, but seeing as it's not original I am pretty sure...

Finally got my hands on an affordable Krate. She's a bit rough, but give me time and plenty of money and she will be beautiful once again! Craigslist score with this one! This puts me at 3. 1971 Fastback, 1973 Deluxe and this. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hello, I spray PPG waterbased paints at work. And I have a new to me Schwinn Fastback that I want to strip and repaint back in Campus Green. I know I can buy the paints in Sherman-William, but I am stubborn and want to use what I have access to at work. I can either find similar colors to the...

Hello everyone, wondering if there were some other members in or around the Waverly, Cedar Falls, Waterloo area? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hello everyone, been awhile since I've posted. Just starting to get back into crusing weather here in Iowa. Been a pretty chilly spring so far. Anyways I found this bike on a for sale page on FB. 1966 Schwinn Stingray. All original! First off, is that seat post factory bent, or did someone think...

Alright, so I got bid happy on eBay awhile back and this ended up at my doorstep. Seller claims it was a 1953 Schwinn Typhoon? Serial number checks out. Right now I have in mind flat black frame, big ... white walled tires on red rims. I believe this is a middleweight bike frame? How large...

Took her out today for a ride... loved it! This was my first bike build, and definitely won't be my last. Already bought another frame to play around with. First time I'd ridden it since I bought it a couple months ago. Put a lot of money and work into her before she looked this good. Absolute...

Hello guys, working on adding some fenders to my 1973 Schwinn Stingray. Its a coaster and originally didn't have fenders. I have the front figured out with a nice NOS one off eBay. And I have purchased one for the rear, but it doesn't seem to fit well. I can line up the center mounting hole but...

Got a guy who wants to sell me these two bikes. $30 bucks a piece... what are they worth, and are they worth restoring? Can you get parts? Thanks everyone!

Not sure if this is the correct forum or not... hopefully you guys can help though. I am after a new set of wheels for my Schwinn Stingray. But I want black. Hubs, spokes, and rim. Anyways I am not sure where to start with this project. I've thought about paint/powder coating the originals. But...

Hello everyone, figured I'd post up my project I've been working on for the past week or two. Found a 1973 Schwinn Stingray forsale locally and figured a nice cruising bike would be fun. It wasn't in super rough condition when I bought her, I just have a tendency to polish and paint my toys...
