... Thinking about it further... i see what you mean by "changes the effective size of the sprocket ", as when the short portion of the ellipse is up and down, it's as if you were pedaling a smaller chainring, and the "extra chain" is taken up by the fact that the chainring is now longer...

I don't think it can change the gearing, as the number of teeth remains the same. But since the chainring is elliptical, changing the pin location will change where on the ellipse the power stroke lies... I think... uhm, hmm.

Have seen these before, but not NOS in the box. That's pretty neat! Interesting concept... would be fun to try it out!

You'll need to find 36 hole 24" rims if you want to run those hubs since you're existing original rims only have 28 holes.

Found this ad and it reminded me of this thread. So, bump!

Oh, and welcome to the Cabe!

The 20" Schwinn Fleet is a rare one! Almost never see these with the tank.

Shame they blurred out the Schwinn sign on the right!

Some people get confused.

Plenty of surface rust, some original paint left. Original fasteners included, but the threads are weak. This is from a ladies model, but they aren't too tough to modify to fit a mens frame.

The most valuable part might be the tires... Schwinn Typhoon Cord replicas that are actually pretty authentic to the originals!

63 pages. Re-printed 25 years ago and long out of print and unavailable, one last batch was found and are now being offered for sale. When they're gone, they're gone! Includes all the coolest brands... Indian, Excelsior, Flying Merkel. Covers motorcycles and bicycles, both complete bikes and...

I just bought a few items from them on eBay. They accepted my offer on the items, so I'm happy with what I paid and they were shipped quickly.

Ok, deal!

Thanks, no deal yet.

Thanks for the bid Charlie, but ND yet.

Very Aerocycle'ish! Would make a great stand-in until you find the real deal. Body is made of aluminum, lens is glass. No idea what company made this and when.. anybody know?

It may be an aftermarket replacement wheel. The profile of the rim looks like a Schwinn S-7, but Schwinn always used black pinstripes on their painted rims, and the hub is not Schwinn either.

Ouch, that Crescent wrench!

Thanks Adrian! Yes, J 10 on the frame, and L3 on the hub. Interesting about the upside down W! I don't know the history of this bike, nor does the person I got it from. I got a lead on it last summer, which finally panned out yesterday. Found in Eastern Washington State.

Another one for the record! I'll give it a good oxalic bath, see what happens. No, I'm not the one who sanded all the paint off the bottom bracket 😞

Brand new, never used, still has the tag. Maybe a nice gift for you or your lady friend? Price was $90 new, crossed out.

This was addressed yesterday, appropriate action has been taken.

Welcome to TheCABE! Your frame is an Iver Johnson. I'll let the Iver experts chime in with more info.

I've done the Google Street View thing a few times on zero feedback buyers when the sale price was in the hundred$, just to re-assure myself. There are scammers on both sides of the resale game, so it's good to check it all out like this before you ship. @StingrayRider If you look at the...

Atherton.

I'll get some pics tomorrow and post a new thread for it. It's a plastic V wing ornament on the end of the bars up front.

Facebook Marketplace find for cheap. Always thought this frame was so cool! Not like I need another rough bike in the pile, but couldn't resist!

Interesting and good point. I'll change the color of this new tag.

Awesome for the swap meet table! Put your old catalogs, magazines, books etc that you might be offering for sale at the bike swap in it. Compresses down to a small size for easy transport.

Shortly after selling The CABE, he got a job with Automotive News and still is there at last Google. https://twitter.com/RichSTruett

10 in one box, 9 in the other. I guess somebody used one? I don't have a Wilson mask so I can't use them.

Same bike.... just in better condition in 2016!

It's already pretty hard to vet new members without making it difficult for them, and us. But if AI bots end up flooding forums, we'll be forced to do something more extreme... I dread the thought of it!

Right, this thread is doomed, but I'm curious if he comes back and what he has to say. Bleep blop glerp!

Sure does! I know there are other Elgin models that have the same frame graphics.

Update to rule #6 to include clarification for going over the post limit. This limit is per forum, so you can have 10 in Parts, 10 in Complete, etc. There is a 10 post per day limit in each buy sell trade forum. This is 10 posts total, bumps count toward the 10 posts. If you have more items for...

Welcome to the CABE! That's a great bike! Pierce bicycles are sought after by many collectors. This is a "Truss Frame" model, which is one of the rarest frame styles for Pierce. The original paint and condition add significantly to it's value, quite a bit more than if it were restored.

Some of the pics, for the record.

$450 .. oops, didn't see the higher bid above. Helps to refresh the page once in a while, LOL!

They just get buried many pages deep, so these shouldn't be a problem. Of course, ideally everyone will mark them SOLD, or WITHDRAWN instead of just abandoning them.

Thank's to those who reported this. He's banned, and all 91 PM's he sent out have been deleted.

I understand, and in the past we've done this, sending a message first, but when this kind of thing happens nearly every day, it gets tiring. Since veteran Cabers should already know the rules, we just have to delete it and move on to the next thing.
