look like repops to me, too shallow.

Not even repops those brackets are a sure give-away. Where the half round meets the fender, even Schwinn repops have very little flat showing. They're knock offs from who cares where.
 
Somebody sent me this pic too. Could be the angle but I thought the front fork was bent back a little. Definitely not Schwinn fenders, should have been paint color with white pinstripes.
 
Nope- in 62 there were painted fenders with painted wheels for a Typhoon. Plus chrome Schwinn middleweight fenders have more curvature to them IE wider sidewall.
 
Would it be hard to find og fenders for it? how mutch would i be looking to spend to get em? The guy wants to trade me that 62 typhoon for my og 64 sears. is it a bad idea???

I wouldn't trade.the typhoons are plentiful from what I've seen.I've had a few of them.your bike is one you don't see as often.
 
Thnx for the info. Im just gonna keep my sears and ill just wait till i get some cash to buy a typhoon or tiger.

There are a lot of Typhoons out there, but the 62 is a 1 year only frame... That makes it a bit rarer to find than a 63 and up. The fenders should be painted like drglinski said. I have one that I'm working on right now and it will be nice when it's done.

Your Sears is very nice!! I've been watching for a double cantilever one for a while (those are tough)...

I have an NOS rear fender that would be correct for that 'Phoon if interested. No struts but sweet paint.
