I've got a Bendix 2 speed yellowband kickback and ran into an issue today while riding home. I went to take off from a stop and the gears slipped, it would just freewheel both forward and backwards, I had no drive or brakes. I kept messing with it for a while and was able to get high gear to...

So I've been using a Schwinn Typhoon as my daily rider and commute back and forth to work on it every day that I can. Back on July 15, 2013 I downloaded the MapMyRide app and have been tracking my rides ever since. Back on Tuesday I reached the 8000 mile mark in just under 7 years so I mapped it...

It's time that I look for a new daily rider and move into the balloon tire/heavyweight world. I'm looking for a 50s Schwinn Wasp and don't necessarily need it to have wheels because I want to run a different setup anyways. Thanks!

So I just noticed today that for the second time in a little over a year I've had a frame break. They are both 69 Schwinn Typhoons, the first one snapped right behind the front tire where the cantilever bars meet the rest of the frame and the other one cracked on top of the bottom bracket shell...

I just noticed that my bottom bracket shell is cracked so I'm looking for a new frame. Original paint Campus Green 26" frame, would prefer it to be a 1969. Thanks!

I'm looking for a red and white patina Schwinn cantilever tank to match my 1958 Schwinn Spitfire. Thanks!

I'm looking for a red patina 26" rear fender with white pinstripes to match my new 1958 Schwinn Spitfire. Unfortunately the one it came with is really rusted and was damaged in shipping.

I currently ride a Schwinn Typhoon with a Bendix Yellowband 2 speed kickback hub. I would like to build another vintage Schwinn but was thinking about going with a 3 speed this time. I want to run the Felt Cruiser 26x50mm and they come available with a Shimano Nexus 3 speed hub. My 2 speed has a...

I passed up on a bike back in December and now I'm kind of wishing I hadn't. It was set up almost exactly as I'd want one so now I'd like to find something to kind of replicate that build. I'm not necessarily looking for a specific model bike but I definitely want an original paint cantilever...

As some of you may know the frame on my 69 Typhoon snapped last week so I just picked up this June 1967 Typhoon today that I found on Craigslist. The tires are dry rotted but I'll probably ride in into work like this tomorrow and then swap my parts over to this frame.

The frame of my 1969 Typhoon snapped today, has anyone ever had this happen before?

The frame on my 69 Schwinn Typhoon broke today so I'm in search of another one. Doesn't necessarily need to be a Typhoon but I definitely want original Campus Green paint. Thanks!

I have a 1969 Schwinn Typhoon and about three years ago I had a Bendix 2 speed yellow band hub put it. I bought the hub off of eBay so I don't know the history of it, but everything always worked fine and seemed ok. The last couple of times I had to replace the rear tire I noticed that I would...

My boss found this October 1972 Schwinn Continental in the trash today and gave it to me. I'm not really interested in it and would like to sell it. The tires are junk but everything else seems ok. What do you think it would go for?

As anyone ever had a rim crack near the valve stem like this? Is there anything I can do about it, or does it just need to be replaced?

Is there any crank I could swap into my bike that would be stronger than the original Schwinn crank? I have now broken two sets since last November on my 69 Typhoon and a third set years ago on my old Sting Ray. Each time it has snapped where the pedal threads in causing the pedal to fall off...

I am looking for a nice patina'd green fork with good threads to fit my 69 Schwinn Typhoon.

I had to put a new crank in my 69 Typhoon yesterday and while doing so I realized I need new bearings. I went to my local bike store and the guy sold me #66 bearings when I had #64. They are a tad bit smaller but I put it back together and it seems to work fine, but should I get some of the...

Question about front forks *New question on page 2* I took my bike apart to check out my bearings and regrease them. When I pulled my forks out, I noticed it was missing a chunk from where the bearing sits. What is this piece called and where can I get another one?

Where can I find the pin that is at the end of the kickstand? My pin is worn so the kickstand doesn't stay all the way up. Is there a place to get just the pin or do I need to get another kickstand?
