My typhoon Build

[ricksterr1221]

Im going to do some work on my 64 Schwinn typhoon, i would make it a buildoff bike but i dont have the nessacery parts. I plan do do some cool stuff with this bike. Heres what im starting with, i painted it last fall.. Ill post more pics as i build it.

hb I want to put a schwinn 26 inch fork with the crown, or maybe a springer. I got a schwinn mag sprocket for it. I have a 24 2.10 tire (i think thats the size) for the rear. i wanna get like a 24 1.75 for the front maybe 1.50? I dont know sizes almost all my parts are garbage picked i dont buy stuff unless i have to. Im gonna also put a maroon and white schwinn seat on it (stole it off my moms hollywood) I also wanna take the chrome fenders off my federals bike and put them on here. BUT Dad wants 2 keep the federals bike all original why i dunno MORE FUN TO RAT IT! And thats about all i can think of right now.. I was thinkin a blue paint but not with the maroon seat. maybe ill just leave it black i dunno.. But yeah this is gonna take me awhile or i would have enterd it in the buildoff. Ill post pics as i progress on it. 8)

[ricksterr1221]

Lol, i got 2 questions, Kev, What u mean new feathers in the cap, and Karfer, what are "Muffler Berrings"

Ricky,
sit down my friend,
I want to tell you a story.

When I was a kid I used to eat Paint Chips.A lot!
then my Dad said,"Son,come here".
"when I was a K k kk k kid,I uu used to ee at those too"

my Dad has a Studder because of a bad accident he had with
a Horse and a piece of Corn ( it was a dare from one of his friends )

anyway Ricky he sits me down and he says,

"If your gonna eeeat pppaint chips you ssshould
rr really thin,thin,thin THINK about ww what might h happen to
you."

then he shows me the Scar on his head from
where the Hoarse kicked him.Then he says,
"I ddon't want yyou to be like your dad and mmess around
with ppaint chips"

and then we hugged,
it was nice

oh yaa,
the "Feather in the Cap"

That means when you accomplish something that it feels good!
It is self rewarding to create and build something from nothing!
To think of an idea,or build on an already good idea
and make it your own...

when you do this you can,as they say," put
a feather in your cap " as a self reward for doing well.
a pat on the back so to speak!...

Build your Bike and show us what YOU created,
once you do that people will gain respect for you and
come Flying at you with great input.

your a good kid Ricky..
lay off the Paint Chips!
I don't want to see you with a piece of Corn in your
hand walking towwards a Horse!
:lol:

And it's a nice bike you have there!
peace,
Kev.

Ricky, Gotta be careful about partin out good bikes. I tried that on the wife's and she did not take to kindly. I am glad she has wisdom cause I probably would of torn the seven speed hub off a perfectly good bike.(that I like as is)

You are starting with a great platform to build from. Go for it and make good.

 

[karfer67]

sorry kev about your dad if that is a true story but a horse and an ear of corn? :shock: lol anyways yea muffler bearings kev and i use em all the time makes the hubs spin wayyyy better right kev?

 

[Clothespin n]

works good for me Karfer
they keep the noise down too!
I usually invert mine so that the tail end of the
Flandged cup seats better in the race of the hub.

YO YO mah!

of coarse you don't want to scratch your copulator when
your putting it in.

either way,it's a nice bike Ricky.
I myself do not own a Schwinn yet.
your a lucky kid

 

[karfer67]

yea i scratched a set once and they ended up as door stops. note to self always use the proper muffler bearing install tool or pay the price.

 

[Rat Rod]
