I still have this green beauty! wink

Still have it!

OMG

Those two bikes are very well done.

Epic ballooner Jag there...

Yes they are drop centers.

I bought this bike/parts today and would appreciate some ID help. Early post-war fat bar w/drop center rims? I'm most likely passing this one on if you need any of these parts hit me up.

That's a great find. Stunning.

This ballooner Jag is still sitting in a corner of my garage with the same dust on it that it carried when I found it..."unmolested" as you call it. When the time comes, you are one of very few people on this earth to whom I would sell this beautiful beast. Peace.

This bike is insane.

Im an idiot...it's all coming back to me now.

You sneaky bastard...*respectfully of course*...when did you get that blue beast?

I shipped some parts to a Caber about a month ago with bikeflights and I got an email from them when the package went out for delivery saying the address didn't exist. The email said the package would be held at the UPS facility while they waited for me to update with correct address. I verified...

That bike isn't alone. My opalescent red Jaguar also shows gold where the color coat has aged.

Scwhinnbikebob brings up a very valid point about the ring on this freewheel. The ring seems to be made of exceptionally soft metal and unless you have this tool locked down with zero play...tighter than a drum, the tendency for the two slots on the ring to deform horribly is quite high.

This is the correct tool for this Atom freewheel.

Your images of this bike are very nicely done.

sheesh...nice one.

What's a realistic market price on this model, year, color, condition bike? Thx

Of all the Schwinn model-morphing that has taken place over the years, none bothers me more than the changes that Schwinn made to the Jaguar (IV to V) between 62 and 63. Thanks, I just had to get that off of my chest.

What are these?

Seems sort of chainbreakerishy.

Fun stuff. I have two Emblems. I am forever intrigued by them. Their motorcycle heritage is bonus points.

You scored the pedals...or the caps!!! This bike is stunning. Nice work.

Love it!!!

I LOVE the perforation. It reminds me of my Dad's old wingtips when I was a kid. I could see a whole collection around that one detail.

Pm sent

That is a nice clock.

I would have no place for my Schwinn Approved Parts!

Sweet bike.

Sweet grips good price http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&toolid=10001&campid=5335809022&icep_item=254075393288

Let's summon the obscure Schwinn seat Yoda @GTs58 to weigh in on this.

Is your bike a 55 or a 56? I might not be remembering this correctly, but I think the strange brownish seat shown in your picture was 55 only and the one above was used in 56. The 55 seat in your picture is one of the hardest Schwinn seats to find.

Wow, that was 5 years ago that I found that letter, and I was actually just looking at it again this past week. It's kind of a special little piece of BMX history to have found.

2 1/4" on the nose.

Trying to figure out what bike this is from. Very chunky housing and the only identifying marks that I can find is the number 33 on the reflective surface. Thanks

I thought I remember seeing a few early ballooner Hawthornes having straight cranks like that...but I seriously could have this completely confused with some other bit of bike part obscurity.

Ha! Amen...me too...which reminds me...did you get the Elgin Cartridge that I sent you!!!lol

Sweet rare bike.

All gone!

And here' Grandpa and the pooch a few years later taking it for a ride...I'm thinking $1750! and I'm first bid all in for 9.95!!!! http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&toolid=10001&campid=5335809022&icep_item=192783831440

I'm dying to see what the photo of the bike on the right brings.

This photo is awesome on so many levels.

I've got two of these left that someone bagged on...$20 shipped each. Then there gone.

I have had a number of great results using boiled linseed oil to stabilize old flaking paint. Use care when applying it over the really rough spots. On these areas I have use a very soft blunt brush...go kind of heavy... and dab it on, so I don't disturb the worst of flaking spots. It seems to...

When you find a small spot to call home in this big, complicated, crazy world... put down some roots... and then try to overwhelm those around you with kindness, generosity and compassion. Amen.

O m g...I'm an idiot for not going for this one.

I've got a few of these in box if anyone is looking for one. $20 each shipped.

Jim, I might have another one for your bike. I'll poke around tonight in the shop for it. andrew

Here's the reflector that's on mine guys.
