Looking at all these 5's I decided to brake out my 79 Spitfire, found this for a friend a few yrs ago out of AZ but I ended up with it a couple yrs later and has a shop sticker from Whitter Ca. another close shop I frequented in my 20's, today rode over to another old LBS that use to be a Schwinn shop, closed a few months ago ( owner passed away ), luckily was bought and opened under the same name. another shop I've went to sense I was a kid, every city around me had their own Schwinn shop so we made our rounds on our StingRaysView attachment 1597481

Does anyone know or have an idea of where to go to get some shop stickers made like style used on Whittier shop decal. If it’s out of Los Angeles county I’ll take an online shop.
Thanks

I’ve had decals made for a rare 26” bmx bike if you have the design most vinyl wrap shops could make them cost will be the problem

Cool build and would love to get a bike with a sticker from my childhood hangout Russell's Schwinn!View attachment 1597050

If you find a blue 70’s spitfire in similar or better condition we can figure something out all I need is the frame

Yea I’ll try that option next, i had some made a while back from online site and the white was semi transparent so put on over a dark color the white print turned grey.

Thanks for the link, but those are now marked SOLD. I have a set of those right now. I am really looking for the wheel set that was on the 83's from the factory to keep the bike in factory issued condition.

So I’ve see both S2’s and square Murray style rims on a 83?

I believe that may be true. The S-2 rims were most likely early 83, and the CMC rims were the later 83? The 83 I have is the early model with the S-2 rims, the .080 spokes, and the Normandy hub front, and Shimano coaster in the rear.

Either way, I mistakenly stated 83, but the bike I have that needs the wheels is actually an 84, so I would prefer the CMC rims for this bike.

 

[mrg]

Do they say CMC because I had a pair that I thought were the same as Murry with a Schwinn approved 10 spd looking front hub & 1 spd freewheel rear?
