Here is the ad pic. 26" girls frame. Was listed here on the CABE

I recently purchased a Schwinn Pre-War girls frame and noticed it to be a bit off. When I measured the seat tube the frame size came out to be 20" ..... so a tall frame! Listed in Schwinn ads but only made for a few years. Cannot find any mention of these frames in a previous CABE posting...

That is really strange as when I first looked I didn't see all those other listings. No way to explain it but like you say one of the first ones. This is actually the second King Size I have owned. My first one sold many years ago and I did not record the serial #.

Bought this frame!

Hey, this is not too complicated to figure out. As the old guard dies off we are not being replenished with a new younger interested generation. Young people today only care about their telephones and computer games....... not old bicycles. Many areas of collecting are noting declines in values...

I have often found myself asking this very same question. Being curious and without answers I have gone ahead and purchased the particular items and then found them to be lacking. This I did with a Schwinn Pogo Saddle which turned into an expensive mistake. I struggled to like it but it wasn't...

I have a New never built up Rickert track bike frame that I have been contemplating selling. I'm too old to ride this type of bike comfortably anymore. Cruisers are more my style now and vintage at that. Please check out attached files.

Actually these appear to 4X5 Kodachromes shot with a press camera. Nothing fake here. I have seen plenty of other images from this era of time and the look is unmistakable that is it is color transparency film and large format at that. Kodachrome is long lived process and the reason these images...

I was in need of the same tool some time back and ultimately found Stein Tools. Built to a much higher standard than Park Tools and still being made today I went for it. Here is the link if you are interested https://www.steintool.com/portfolio-items/frame-and-fork-alignment-fixtures/

Well I have to say that frame size has been a concern for me too. Looking only for comfort I have found two balloon tire bikes that fit the bill. Not so Tasty as most ballooners but certainly much more rare than many others that are far more valuable. I mention this as if you saw one of these...

Last night I caught a bit of a western movie from the 1960's staring Clint Walker. As the plot progresses the star is walking the dusty streets of an 1890's western frontier town a bicycle rides past him. Clint being a curious guy walks over to check the bicycle out after it stops nearby...

Air tools seem almost old fashioned today with all the electric battery operated tools being offered now. Air tools get my vote and high quality ones will last a lifetime and longer properly lubed. Here is a few from my extensive collection of vintage air tools.

Really its true most everybody wore leather shoes back then and our family shopped at the Buster Brown shoe store. They even had a X-Ray machine located in the store so they could look and see it your toes had enough room to move around. Kids loved the X-Ray machine especially me. Its a wonder...

My mother would never have spent that extra money on something as useful bicycle shoes.

I grew up in the 40's and 50's in an era of time when nearly everyone wore street shoes or should I say leather soled shoes. I still do even till today but old pedals and leather soles are a dangerous match and ones feet easily slip off them when you least expect it. In this new era the rubber...

Almost every bike I have bought this last year has had fork problems. All are straight now but really with captive ends you risk bending the fork again trying to re-insert the wheel back into the fork. I solved that problem by threading the hub axle along its whole length. Then inserting the...

Bought this saddle a number of years ago thinking ahead to put it on a future purchase. Don't think i will ever buy that bicycle now as my interests have changed a bit. I did use it for awhile on one Schwinn I had and that is when the leather started to crack. When I bought this saddle according...

Where is the price!

Had the same problem with a Schwinn King Size frame sometime back. Took a bit of doing but I put the bottom bracket into a big vice and locked the frame down tight. Then got an six foot steel crowbar and put it between the stays and then leaned down on the crowbar with all my weight. Had to have...

I have built many wheels using this brand of spoke. They never have posed a problem for me as the spokes have to conform to the hub anyway whether it be a high or low flange type and the number of crossings. Just the act of tightening them up will bring them into correct alignment.

Double Bars are my favorite and that blue one is DYNAMITE!!!!!

Didn't know that any Superiors ever came with the big bottom brackets for one piece cranks.

While at the Cyclone Coasters ride this weekend I overheard two Coasters talking about Schwinn Double Curved Bar Roadsters. So I volunteered to their conversation that I had one. Not sure they entirely believed me as I also mentioned that it was a Tall frame. Anyway decided to post images even...
