Barn Finds

I saved these from the scrap pile, cost me a little more that scrap price but not much. Got 6 bikes total but only three were Schwinn's

1962 Typhoon?: Sold it to a friend same day I picked it up for a project he has planned.

1967 Heavy Duti

19?? with Sweet Heart Sprocket

Cool barn finds Ryan! That so called 52 Sweetheart is a prewar model so you saved an oldie. Your heavy duti has to be a 67 or later model with that guard and chrome fenders. If you are using the SN decoder on Schwinncruisers.com it will mess you up more times than not.

Thanks GTs58, I did use that SN decoder. I was thinking that the one with the skip tooth chain was older than 1952, but being a newbe I did not question it. Is there a better way to determine the years of these bikes?

1938 Straightbar...

Not exactly a "find" as my dad has owned this one for years but never rode it, so after we scavenged the wheels for another project he gave it to me...for HIS birthday. He got a 48 fatbar F/F and a feather chainguard out the deal, so I'm not a total cad lol.

Tim Brandt has a good prewar serial number chart going on his site. http://www.bicyclechronicles.com/

Aerocycle

not me, but one of the guys that rides with us brought out his new Wal-Mart Aerocycle repop. he said they sell for $249.99. looks like they did a decent job making it look like a real one.

I looked on walmart website did not not find this on there
