I have a 1973 10-speed Schwinn Suburban that I bought brand new. Have not ridden it in many years but have decided to try to get it back into riding condition. My problem is that I can not get the shifters to move. The cables seem to be frozen. I am an 85 year old duffer of a mechanic so any...

What is the name for the spoke attachment nut on this reflector? Is there a source for these attachment nuts? The ones in this picture appear to be plastic, but the ones on my bike are metal. Thanks--

I've decided to try to fix the head light on my 1941 autocycle. Here is a picture of what I am working with: I'm assuming that I will need to remove what is left of the old light fixture. Unless there is a way to install just the battery holder part??? I have this as a potential replacement...

Schwinn Six-Hole Postwar Rack for sale. This rack was on a restored 1949 B6. The rack was damaged in shipment. I tried to straighten it but it will need more work. $75 plus shipping. Payment by postal money order or Paypal (Friends and Family).

This bike has been discussed before, but I've become more curious as to how rare that it might be. I found this bike on Craigslist about three years ago. This is the oldest picture that I have found. It was posted on TheCabe in 2011: This is what it looked like when I bought it: After...

i live in a very humid environment. It is very hot for about six or seven months of the year and a 35-40 degree overnight temperature swing is not that unusual in the winter months. I keep my bikes (two 1940s Schwinn autocycles) in an enclosed garage that has a ductless air conditioner. The...

Several people have asked about the condition of the other parts that have not been unpacked. I was hoping to not have to repack each piece. But I can see, from the questions I am receiving, that I am going to have to completely unpack and unwrap everything to make sure nothing else got...

Would anyone happen to know who restored this 1949 Schwinn B6? It was previously owned by some CABE members. I'm trying to find out what kind of paint was used when it was repainted. Thanks--

Beautiful Mercury Pacemaker for sale. Sold to "Phattiremike". Thanks Mike. $2400 if picked up at my house in Houston, TX. If the bike needs to be shipped, I will be glad to take it to a local bike shop for packing and shipping. The cost of packing and shipping will be the responsibility of...

Suggestions on the best way to pack and ship this bike would be appreciated. I am getting ready to sell it and I'm concerned about how to safely ship it. I don't feel qualified to pack it myself so I will need to get it packed, too. Of course, the best option would to have it picked up, but I...

I will soon be selling my Mercury Pacemaker. Would appreciate thoughts as to what would be a fair asking price for this bike.

I'm going to be selling this bike and am trying to determine a fair price. The horn works and, at one time, the front light was also working. The tank appears to be original except for the decals. Both fenders have had paint work, but some original paint remains on both fenders. The fork and...

I'm thinking about selling my wife's 1977 Schwinn Suburban. It is a very nice bike, but she no longer feels that her balance is good enough to continue riding it. It is all original except for new tires that I installed in 2015. The original paint is still very shiney. It has a nice Schwinn...

The kick stand leg on my '41 Autocycle seems to not be long enough. The kick stand works, but the bike leans way too far to the left. I found this thread and wondered if the tip of my kick stand has been bent at too great of an angle...

Any ideas as to what the holes in the front fender were for? Mud flap??

Getting ready to try to sell these and would appreciate some input as to what they are worth. They are cosmetically very nice (except for one cracked reflector) and they worked well on my bike.

Looking for a patina tank that would work on this 1941 Autocycle: Maybe something like the tank on this bike: Please send pictures to: [email protected]

I've asked several members of thecabe about this bike and the general consensus is that it would be OK to part this one out, but decided I would throw it open to a more general discussion as to what to do with this bike. After doing some analysis, it certainly appears to have a lot more value...
