    Question on Schwinn Seat Post and Saddles

    seat post adapter If you cant find an adapter , just pull the seat post and flip it over. I believe the bottom end is 13/16" and should do the trick...Good luck

    Name That Bike

    Schwinn ....but... Appears to me that it is a frame for 28" wheels as opposed to 26" wheels. Space between fork and wheel and fender mount to wheel should be about 2". Are those 24 " wheels in a standard 26"wheeled frame?

    Schwinn hi low brake

    spoke length 10 5/8 is the correct lenght for both sides . One side will be a 4 cross pattern and the other a 3 cross. I have physically laced one myself so I know it works.

    Favorite old tire tread pattern?

    favorite tread I tend to like the brick tread as they are more round from side to side . Worst for me is the g3 tread because of the square edge . They just seem a little unstable in a turn. Sometimes (for me) they tend to grab the edge and pitch you slightly one way or the other ....my 2 cents

    Early Frame of Uncertain Origin...Rollfast?

    rollfast? I have an early Rollst ('33-'34 ) and from what I'm seeing, the chain tension screws are 1/4" as opposed to 3/16". Also the head badge has hoizontal rivot pattern w/ no rivots and no holes in frame. Other wise it is a nice rider.Just my 2 cents.

    mead ranger ID

    Just at a glance ,I can tell that it is a pre balloon frame. Space from the tire to the fork crown should be roughly an inch.That leads me to believe the wheels are incorrect.You woud basically be buying a frame and fork...........$150 tops.Just my honest opinion. I have a correct rack for it if...
