I don’t, Stuart Bray might have them... I could be wrong but I don’t think all of the bikes came with the accessories.

I have a set and I was going to put them on, but I’m really like how it looks without them... -Connor

Selling my restored BSA Paratrooper bicycle. This bike was recently restored and is in perfect condition. Everything on it is correct down to the original hardware (except for the modern tires which are the same tread as the originals). These bikes are very hard to find because they we used...

I just listed my Paratrooper for sale in the classifieds section. Check it out and let me know if you’re interested... Thanks!

That’s a beauty! Great color scheme!

Selling my restored 1946 Whizzer, this is a factory Schwinn Whizzer - it came with the dimpled frame and motor from the factory... I bought it from the original owner who purchased it after returning from WWII and recently had it restored - which included rebuilding the motor, all of the...

It’s been awhile since I’ve updated this forum - I’ve been busy with other projects. But I was able to finish this Whizzer and get it running properly... Fortunately I took some photos along the way. I ended up replacing the engine seals, head gasket, rebuilt the carb, adjusted the engine to sit...

Yes, I'm pretty sure that the fender is on correctly... As for the front light, I added it to the bike. I personally like the look better of the twin style light... -Connor

Haha, yea it’s hard to believe it’s wrong because everything else on the bike seems to be original... Thanks for you help!

It must be the wrong caliper because the rear caliper is definitely larger... Thanks for the info! Is there a specific name for the correct one or are the middleweight ones universal?

I recently bought this original Schwinn Jaguar and I’m having trouble with the front brake. I can’t seem to get both brake pads to sit on the rim. It seems like one of the arms is too short... Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks in advance! -Connor

Congrats! Make sure to post some photos... -Connor

It depends on the level of the restoration... It's pretty hard to tell the condition with just that photo, but I would say that your average properly restored and running one is worth $4-5K. -Connor

It depends on the price. I've heard that they are going to range from $2,500 to $5k and I wouldn't be surprised because of how much the full sized electric Harley is. But it is pretty good looking... -Connor

Very rare one year only middleweight. Everything is original except for the chrome - I had the fenders, chain-guard, tank and other miscellaneous parts redone. All of the bearings have been re-greased and it rides amazingly. I will be including the original gold seat in the sale along with the...

Yes, it’s still available. Private message me if you’re interested... -Connor

Yes, it sold awhile ago...

Great information, but I do have to say that not everyone from the next generation won’t work on these old bikes - I’m 17 and constantly wrenching on my second Whizzer... ;) -Connor

Hi, I’m selling my restored Century Badged Schwinn B10 motorbike. I believe it’s a 1932 model. It was professionally restored by the previous owner - automotive grade paint, chrome and etc... There are a few minor chips in the paint, but besides that it’s in amazing condition. This is a very...

I have an early motorbike, I believe it's a 1932. I'm thinking about selling it. PM me if you're interested. Thanks! -Connor

Sold

Found this Whizzer with a F motor for sale... What’s it worth? -Connor

The fenders are just chromed. I didn’t like the look of the gold, but you can buy it in a spray paint and spray them... Here’s the seat:

I also have the original Golden Flyer seat and it will be included in the sale... -Connor

It looks like you have the start of a nice Whizzer... You should start a thread in the Motorized Bicycles section here on the CABE. I don't know much about serial numbers, but there are a bunch of great people here who can help you out. -Connor

***SOLD***

That’s weird, I ran the serial number for this Hornet and it worked fine...

Have your tried looking it up on bikehistory.org? There is a serial number look-up tool. -Connor

Your right, here’s the serial number C44582. I looked it up and it said 52 - either it’s wrong or it has the wrong fenders and chain-guard. Let me know what you guys think... -Connor

Try it now... -Connor

Great original 52' Schwinn Hornet. It has a pair of NOS Hornet fenders on it. The rest of the paint is in great original condition. Both the light and horn work. It's a great rider and has a great set of B.F. Goodrich tires on it... $850 cash pick up in San Diego or PM me to arrange shipping...

Thats killer! I love those tires! What kind of front brake do you have? -Connor

Check out the motorized bicycle section for the build thread on this 46’ Whizzer.

I had to take some photos - it’s getting there...

It wasn’t original, I had been recovered a few years ago. If it was original I would have definitely kept it that way...

I just put some leather paint on it to see what it would look like black... It needs to be recovered anyway - it’s all torn up. Just wanted to test the color. -Connor

I’d say a nice running Whizzer is around $1500-$2K and a restored is $3K-$3500...

Dang Bart, it sounds like you found the jackpot! It’s cool to hear that people still collect these old things... Hopefully that guy joins and posts some photos. It looks like mine is going to need a bunch more work, but working on these is pretty fun! -Connor

Thanks Eric, I’m happy I picked this one up. I forgot how cool Whizzers are and it’s great being back in the hobby! I’m glad that the one in NYC work out for you - looks like the perfect donor bike... Fortunately Joe Cargola hooked me up with a freshly chromed double bent crank - thanks for...

Got the new tires installed.

Perfect, thank you!

I need the one that is bent on both sides. The one I have now rubs on the case... How can I get Joes Cargola’s number?
