Old Schwinn Tandem

[cruisin_on_my_schwinn]

Says here that there were two diffrent frames and two diffrent forks for a Town & Country Tandem depending on weather it was for S2 rims or S4 rims

Welcome to the Cabe BMX! I joined last year looking for info on the same style bike. I learned a LOT from here and tinkering with the bike itself. Unusal bikes for sure. I spent WAY more money than I wanted to. I also learned they're not worth much either. But fun to restore and ride! Here's some photos of mine. Before and after. Good luck with yours!

Messaged @my560sec with the balloon Tandem wheel set and he was kind enough to take some photos for us of the balloon Tandem frame.

Thanks for pointing that out! I've been thru that parts catalog hundreds of times and never stopped at those pages long enough to read the descriptions.

Im glad you are a member of the cabe sir, its great to have someone who was on Schwinn's payroll here to fill in all the missing info on rare Schwinn bicycles. Since i think you are the only person i can ask. Is this bicycle something schwinn actually did? Or is this a total fake? Also what do you think of the sellers price?

Check out this item on OfferUp. https://offerup.co/vjz8GINdxxb

Um, slightly overpriced....

To be honest I was looking to see if i could find what the Schwinn Part# to a Weinmann MS 3,3 Brake was. When I stumbled upon the fork section and noticed two different forks for the Tandem, that got me looking at the tandem frame also.

Isn’t the MS 3.3 a dia-comp part used on the balloon cruisers?

It belongs on a 1970 Schwinn 3 speed. Its the rear brake. Im trying to find one just like it for my bike.

It could have been also used on the cruisers but those i believe are stamped. And im looking for the correctly stamped caliper for my bike
