    4 MORE Raleigh's!!...Just Got Them

    For me, the best thing about this is that the bikes went to someone who cares about them and appreciates them. I'm getting to the age & point that I'm going to have to start getting rid of my collection. I fear that many of them may go to college students who are just looking for a knockabout...

    Paramount, Superior, New World.

    I believe the "Disneyland" decals began in 1960. Does anyone know just when the switch was made?

    3 speed hub in a Varsity frame

    Agree with WillWork4Parts above. Seems like it wouldn't be too hard to cold set the rear triangle from 120mm to 110mm. You would need to do the string check though as I've read that one side moves easier than the other and you want to keep everything properly aligned. Any decent bike shop should...

    Selling at a swap meet guidance needed

    I'm with Freqman & Vincev. If I have to ask the price of something, it usually means that I can't afford it, so I walk on by, unless it's something that I really, really want.

    1987 Schwinn Le Tour... Just Got It

    Nice score. The bike will appreciate your attentions

    Show some green!

    You have my dream bike! Back in high school I had a '67 T100C and a good friend had a '67 Bonneville. We used to ride together. I wished that I had the 650cc TR6C version instead of the 500cc. Years later I realized the I probably couldn't handle one of these off road, so no point having the...

    Show some green!

    I'm loving that Sea Mist Green Triumph that @Barfbucket posted. Is that a '67 model?

    I don't think they've minted that much money yet!

    1952 Schwinn World 3-Speed Update

    I think a brand new saddle on the bike will look out of place and stick out like a sore thumb. To my eye the saddle you have on there looks just right.

    1952 Schwinn World 3-Speed Update

    That was a lot of labor to pay for. The bill must have been substantial. I covet your new SS spokes. Personally, I would leave the Brooks on the bike, unless the shop owner wants it back.

    1949 Schwinn New World (Barn Find)

    Nice job on the restoration. It looks great! I'd like to have one like this in Coach Green.

    What bike did you work on today?

    How do you determine how much spoke tension to use when building up a wheel?

    Withdrawn RARE 1939 Schwinn Paramount Track Bike

    Did Richard put that much later seat tube panel decal on it? If so, I have to wonder why.

    Peugeot PY-10 (???)...Just Got It...

    Still not understanding why the ad with the white PX10LE against the orange background says "tubular wheels".

    What tool for old Shimano 333 5 speed hub?

    Yah...that or a big pipe wrench.

    1963 Bendix two speed hub rebuild

    The only white lithium grease that I've used is Lubriplate in the black & silver tube. My experience with it is that it dries up and becomes ineffective fairly quickly. I know that it's been around for ages and had a good reputation back in the day. Are there better & longer lasting lithium...
  17. Eric Amlie

    Peugeot PY-10 (???)...Just Got It...

    Back to the ad again; I had been under the impression that the LE suffix meant that it had clincher rims & tires rather than tubular. The ad seems to contradict that. Perhaps it varies with the year.
  18. Eric Amlie

    Peugeot PY-10 (???)...Just Got It...

    But what about the ad for the white PX10LE that Harpo posted?

    Peugeot PY-10 (???)...Just Got It...

    Seems odd to me that Peugeot put a pie plate spoke protector on the PX10.

    The Gold Standard Schwinn thread

    I own both but both are in storage so don't have easy access to them right now. Best I can do is from my pic files. Here is a '62 in Radiant Gold and a '63 in Terra Cotta. I think the best description for Terra Cotta is "tomato soup"

    You can always remove them later if you decide to.

    The Gold Standard Schwinn thread

    I particularly love that Varsity! Great job on the photography, I haven't been able to get the hang of it yet. Shooting in the sun I generally get so much reflection that it obscures a lot of detail, and even in the sun I can't seem to capture the "glow" of the candy colors. Your photos are...

    I Believe in Miracles!

    Often when I drop small items they don't just roll into some hard to reach place, they actually get sucked into a black hole, never to be seen again!

    @kostnerave Your bikes are in amazing condition and a real treat to look at. Thanks for sharing them!

    The Gold Standard Schwinn thread

    Beautiful bike! Looks like the r. der. pivot bolt needs to be loosened a tad so the body is free to pivot forward.

    1965 Schwinn Varsity Sport in Violet

    I think the '64 Sierra still used the the Normandy hubs with the circular holes.

    1965 Schwinn Varsity Sport in Violet

    I've never tried a B17 Narrow but I find the B17 Standard to be fairly comfortable, especially the Imperial version with the cutout in the top.

    1965 Schwinn Varsity Sport in Violet

    Wowza! While the Brooks is undoubtedly a better saddle, I hope you have your eyes open for a nice Sprint saddle for it.

    52 World Traveler… estate sale find

    Nice looking bike. I love the color.

    52 World Traveler… estate sale find

    I don't think I could get along with that saddle angle. On all my Brooks I have to have the nose up a bit so I don't feel like they're trying to dump me off the front. These are drop bar bikes though, so I'm leaned further over.

    1965 Schwinn Varsity Tourist - Violet

    I had a Sky Blue '65 Varsity tourist(bought brand new) and it looked just like the bike in the catalog photo. The saddle was black. This is my re-creation of that bike. I lost track of my original one many decades ago. This one is not quite correct because of the white wall tires and the wider...

    The Gold Standard Schwinn thread

    Here is a bike that Schwinn actually called Radiant Gold. It's a '62 Superior. This is not my bike, but I do have one. The paint on this bike is better than mine. Although it looks like Coppertone in the pic, if you stand it next to a Coppertone bike you can see that it's a different color.

    1976 Schwinn Varsity, Super Clean

    Probably the nicest Flamboyant Red paint that I've seen. Very pretty!

    Paramount Tandem

    I don't think that I've seen that fork crown before. At least I haven't noticed it before now.

    Varsity font

    I'd like to recommend Gus's work. He made me some sets of custom decals that were exactly what I wanted. The artwork is spot on. I haven't applied them yet, but I'm sure if I follow his detailed instructions they will go on without a problem. Thanks again @Gus

    1950 traveler w-18 with dynohub information

    Wow...Nice score!!! I never see anything like that in my local market. Lots of low end mountain bikes though.

    1965 Schwinn Violet Varsity

    Something to watch for with the seat tube panel decals is the company name. Almost all the re-pops that I see say Schwinn Bicycle Co. As your photo shows, you want one that says Arnold-Schwinn & Co.

    Raleigh Super Course

    I'd take a close look at that stem. It looks too high, and one that likes to crack around the wedge. I suggest pulling, inspecting then reinserting making sure a safe amount is inserted into the steerer.

    Varsity font

    Does anyone know what font Schwinn used for the Varsity decals in the mid-sixties to early seventies? About the closest that I can find is Liberation Serif in bold, but it's not quite the same. Here are some actual Varsity decals And here is what I generated on my computer with Liberation...

    1960-to 1996 Schwinn 10 to 15 speed lightweight bikes.

    I guess that I have a bit different focus than member @Real1. I've never been a racer, so I was never looking for a real racing bike. My focus has been on a "sport touring" bike with as good a ride as possible at a price that was affordable to me. My only Raleigh is a '62 Blue Streak, so once...

    1960-to 1996 Schwinn 10 to 15 speed lightweight bikes.

    Of course there were better & lighter bikes being made at the same time, but when you make comparisons like these you should do so at a similar price points. How much did those high zoot Euro bikes cost?
  43. Eric Amlie

    1960-to 1996 Schwinn 10 to 15 speed lightweight bikes.

    I have several of the Greenville bikes from '87 & '88. LeTour, Prelude, Tempo, Super Sport, & Circuit. I don't know how they stack up against the European(or Japanese) bikes, but there's certainly nothing wrong with them that I can tell. This '87 Circuit is one of my favorites.

    1960-to 1996 Schwinn 10 to 15 speed lightweight bikes.

    Circa 1972-73 several of my friends bought the Gitane Tour de France model. They were the "affordable" Reynolds 531 framed bike at that time. It was a real eye opener for me comparing my '65 Varsity to those bikes.

    1960-to 1996 Schwinn 10 to 15 speed lightweight bikes.

    I own the '62 model in the front of this pic showing a '62 & '63 in Terra Cotta. This is the seller's pic. It currently hangs in my garage as a frame set.

    1960-to 1996 Schwinn 10 to 15 speed lightweight bikes.

    Here's one for you John. A '62 Superior that I modified the gearing to my liking.

    What was this Paramount frame originally?

    Only if it's a good fit for you. You'll get a good bit of money stuck into repairing & refinishing. I don't think that makes sense unless it fits you well.

    February 14 1959 short frame racer show winner.

    That's one of my favorite paint & decal schemes. Saw a pic of a Paramount that was done up with this scheme(but had the chromed head lugs) years ago. Wish I had saved the pic.

    Early 60s Super Sport oddity

    It's got the chrome-moly decal though, and no seat tube panel decal. That says Super Sport to me.
