New one on me. I like! http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&toolid=10001&campid=5335809022&icep_item=352044570486 "1970 was the 75 Year Anniversary "Diamond Jubilee" for Schwinn. This bike was a very limited color run in 1970 and was the ONLY year they did a Schwinn...

The question mark is well placed but it sure looks nice. $499 OBO http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&toolid=10001&campid=5335809022&icep_item=351967181748

Bought this today. Bid the $75 dollars on a whim and hoped I was going to be outbid so I didn't have to drive so far to get it. No such luck for this unloved Great paint Continental. Glad I have it, it is a time capsule with its maybe original tires,1975 saddle bag and probably original bar...

#1 Non Refundable #2 hold the item until I can come see it in person #3 hold the item until I can come back with the balance. Personally I consider ALL deposits non-refundable unless it is agreed to beforehand that they are not. After all, what is the point of a deposit that is not binding...

I'm feeling more pro American, more Patriotic, much less socialist. A great day to be alive!

Does anyone know what kind of bike this came from? Thanks!

Looking for this bike rack. Has no reflector or holes for a reflector. 1975-77 I believe. Need it for the 24"-26" frame, so the curved up one. Thanks! please email me direct if you have one to sell

An experimental run into the unknown. This is more of a look over the shoulder than a interactional comment thread. Think of this as a running and evolving exhibit. Disclaimer Got lots of projects going on with all kinds of restorations but since this is the Schwinn lightweight forum, this...

I'm always looking at interesting lightweight accessories for sale and thinking, OOH I should buy that. Most of the time I don't but I get that one or two second feeling that I gotta have it. I really regret not jumping on this saddle.

Getting some questions on Hanson rivet tools from the Work shop forum and been thinking about doing this anyway, so here goes. Since all I work on pretty much are Schwinn lightweights I can speak with some confidence on those although I'm sure this will apply to many other kinds of bikes...

Getting the feeling I'm not doing enough bike stuff to justify my presence here SOOO. What is this guy up to besides shooting off at the mouth? This!

This is the accessory chrome frame mounted tire inflator hand pump used in the 60's thru 70's Have a super nice one to sell? Thanks! Please use the quote with reply if you have one to sell

Looking for this in nos or mint used condition Thanks!

Looking for a complete (no missing pages) mid 70's Schwinn parts and accessories catalog. Don't care if it's a bit ragged as long as it is complete and cheap. Thanks!

I have seen this handlebar covering on a number of last gasp Continental's. The 82 Continental I have came with it and I believe the bike was all original. Anyone have any knowledge about this? Notice the nice tapered ends

Let Me know if you have one available. Thanks!

Not mine and pricey but certainly cool. Vintage, early 70's, Chrome Schwinn Paramount by original owner. Complete with original bill of sale, all supporting documentation. Bike in excellent condition with all original factory equipment.Schwinn Paramount Details Height at Top Tube: 34"...

Looking for a 26"frame original paint Varsity or Continental that is like new and absolutely original. Close to zero chips or scratches low mile bike. Any color. I have mint repaints and one very very nice original Varsity but I'm looking for that special time warp bike with hardly any use or...

Did Schwinn even have a solid blue colored tape that wasn't opaque blue?

I have always had a fascination with racks, especially large ones. Put some thought into buying this rack. Minimal contact with painted surfaces and no hanging tires. What do you use? This is Wisconsin, a pickup bed full of snow no worky. A four bike rack. This is a Rage rack with the...

I'm gathering parts to put a speedo on my accessory laden Varsity. You don't see many of these with speedo's. Hoping someone has some pics to share on how the dealer would have put it on. The straps and so forth. Also curious about cable lengths considering this bike is a 26". Surely a 22" does...

What do you have? I need one in excellent condition.

So putting on a new front fender and not liking the big holes for axles in the fender brace. Is this right for fork drop out mounted fenders? Gotta pic the way Schwinn dealers did it? Thanks!

I like these and no serious Schwinn lightweight collection is complete without one. From what I've been able to deduce, Positron refers to the friction freewheel or FF system and not the indexed solid cable shifted derailleur that usually but not always went along with it, as evidenced by AMF's...

Were these larger decals used on any 76, 77 or 1978 Superior? The decal on the frame is a 1976 model. Thanks

Tips or suggestions? any interest in a wheel building thread?

I thought this might be a fun project and informative for those that are interested in how it's done or for those that are thinking about doing it. From what I gather, guys are spending over a $1000 to get their Paramounts painted. I couldn't tell you for sure how much it costs because when I...

Not as nice as the last one and more than twice as much $ as the other one sold for but they are accepting offers. They look to be 24" bikes. http://www.ebay.com/itm/ViNtAgE-1975-NOS-Schwinn-Varsity-10-speed-Men-s-bike-bicycle-NEW-ORIGINAL-/152018272358?hash=item2364fec066:g:uX4AAOSwv9hW6ecI...

Here is the latest offering from Bicyclebones for the 1977 Schwinn Sierra in waterslide. He also has the correct SCHWINN down tube decals for these bikes. I made a small run of the vinyl black and chrome decals for the chrome forks if you need those. Dan has been a huge help to me over the...

Looking for replacements for my not so perfect cones on my front and rear axles for a Sports Tourer and 70's Superior. Know of an aftermarket source? What is the Schwinn size for these? got the 26tpi understood but the OD is a bit confusing for both front and rear.

How does Schwinn lightweight frame geometry differ from model to model and why?

You don't see many of these. What do you do with a NOS 1981 Varsity? It'll be interesting to see what it goes for. http://www.ebay.com/itm/NOS-Vintage-1981-Schwinn-Varsity-Cruiser-Bicycle-Sky-Blue-Size-22-122-10-Spd-/291682125401?hash=item43e99c0659:g:R~oAAOSwUuFWu8-m

Assembling some parts today and ran into a problem. Putting these together for a 71 p-15 Paramount project using the Weinmann levers on the right. The safety levers on the bottom middle are way off on dates 79 and 80, but these came off the Paramount with a set of levers just like the ones on...

I need the part circled to adapt this derailleur to a Schwinn Superior and Sports Tourer frame. I'll buy the whole derailleur in any condition to get it. I have a very nice ready to use Schwinn Superior/Sports tourer Shimano GT300 rear derailleur to trade if you prefer. Thanks!

Anyone know what this was used on?

I think it would be a good idea to have some sticky's for our new forum. Pedals by years of use, derailleurs etc etc. I have something in the works already for pedals. I don't have a huge collection but I have enough to get something started in a few areas of interest. I am going to need your...

[A one year only freak in the funeral colors of the last gasp of the Chicago Schwinn Continental. So sad! This frame is unusual as you can see being half electroforged and half filet brazed.

Think we all agree that good looking decals are a major plus for any preservation or restoration of these bikes. In my experience it is also one of the most frustrating aspects of completing a restoration. I have tried all the decals available out there including making my own with the exception...

So about those decals. Yeah it looks like Bicyclebones blew it on the font, BUT, didn't Velocals blow it on the type of decal. They're are Vinyl stickers right? So what's worse. Here is that same bike I put up in the other thread obviously before the transformation.

Thank you! Thank You!

WANTED Any original part painted in Schwinn Flamingo Rose wanted for the purpose of matching the paint for a respray project. Borrow or buy, all expenses paid. Thank You!

Looking for the longer bolt. 20mm or a hair over 3/4" long m6x1.00 Thank you! I'll buy a complete derailleur to get the bolt need be.

I know little about balloon tire bikes, never had one never road one. How much does your typical 26" balloon tire bike weigh with fenders, tank and rear rack? What is the stand over height of a 26" bike. Thank You

Looking for a Schwinn Sprint front derailleur. Minimal wear please. Just the cage would be great too, I have examples with heavily worn cages. Any year, decal or script. Thanks!

Looking for a undamaged 1975 or older 26" Schwinn Continental frame set or complete junker bike. I'm in the southern Wisconsin area. Also looking for a set of the wheel reflectors like this. Thanks!
