Look Ma, No Hands!
Hello all! I'm new to the site but not to old bikes. This weekend I'm going to look at a '62 Schwinn Typhoon. It's the continuous twin bar frame, black with white painted rims and painted fenders. Complete bike in need of a deep clean and probably new tires and tubes. Seller wants $140 out of it. I had a couple questions: Does anyone reproduce the original Westwind 'brick' tires with the correct lettering on them? I see aftermarkets are available, but it'd be neat to have what it originally had. Second, what are these bikes typically worth in original, cleaned up but not restored condition? I'm not planning on selling it or anything, I've wanted one for a long time. Just curious. Thanks! -Marc.
