Cool Scrambler and I have a few bars but I would have to see if they are date stamped 75 I know I have a 77 bar
I love that! Great find! Now, I have a question. I shy away from Schwinn stuff because of the funky rim sizes, do these bikes have s-7 rims, or are they more standard? Are they even Schwinn at all? I gave a BMX/Fairlady Schwinn to my brother to customize which had generic, non-knurled, non-Schwinn rims... I think it was a '77-'80. I should have kept it really- it had some neat stuff on there, including what appeared to be original Schwinn BMX style forks. I haven't seen another pair...
Thanks guys. They are schwinn wheels, just extra wide and, as you can see, heavy duty spokes. They have the knurling and I think that they're S-7. I'll have to find out what kind of tires are still available.
Schwinnspastic: Let me know if you run across anything. Perhaps we can work something out.
I'm looking forward to riding some wheelies this summer. My son thinks that it's just the craziest thing when the old man pops a wheelie. I had a Sears knockoff of the Huffy Thunder Road back in the day, so the little cantilever frame brings back memories.

Either way it is a super great looking bike. I like S-2's better than s-7's personally, s-2's take standard tires. Some black Schwinn BMX/mini apes and a black banana seat and that will be one sweet scrambler. The paint looks to be in really nice condition.
well so far I found 2 sets of bars dated 80 & 82 and a stem dated 77 ...I know I had the bars that went with the stem but my CRS gets in the
way sometimes :roll: your bike looks to have all the correct parts ...large flange front hub with heavy spokes and s2 rims, thats the correct
crank as well.

A 75 Schwinn Scrambler did come with s-2's. Nice find. Spistols on here collects Scramblers as well. My chrome Scrambler with 36/36 s-2's is a 78.
that is a beefy bike. lovin it!!! thats why i think i dig those older schwinns, cuz they made cool and out there bikes like this. looks like the humvee of cruisers. :mrgreen:
