Spitfire


Excuse the awful picture. But I got this 59ish Schwinn Spitfire late last night,walking around my friends neighborhood it was siting in the bed of a truck that looked to be a scrap pile. Asked the older gentleman if he would sell it, he said if I could take it out I can have it!!
Turns out the mans wife is the origional owner. I'll clean it up and take better pics.

Michaels latest Schwinn

My Son Michael added this one to his keeper collection, can somebody help him with the age? he thinks it is his oldest Schwinn ballooner, it looks like it may have had a tank at one time?, he bought it with 2 others from a local farm, he paid $150.00 for this one, we will post more pictures after he cleans it up and gets it road ready, thanks for looking, Mark & Michael

'36 Aerocycle

This actually arrived at the house Friday but we had already left for Charleston. This came from the large collection Darcie and Nick bought. I want to thank them for giving me first shot at this bike and taking the time and effort to pack it extra carefully. It arrived without a scratch, went together with no problems, and rides great! I took it out for a three mile check ride and everything was smooth as silk as the saying goes! The bike is somewhat over restored with some things being chromed that shouldn't have been but this is in line with a lot of the old school restorations where shiny was better.This bike was found by Steve Doan and supposedly photos exist of it as-found. If someone would like to share these I would appreciate it. The bike presents well and all the electrical works so I'm very happy with it. Beside, beggars can't be choosy! V/r Shawn
