To the masses yes. But it is the people with the money that walk into a schwin dealer and say I want that in this color that mess with your gospel on what is available. Because years after they are gone the bikes, cars and motorcycles they special ordered wind up in the market as exceptions to...

Have great fun on that one! And too all who go to sf relics! I will be home doing the mister mom thing with my son.

Thankx, the bottle cages I bought in my oakdale ca. Opd or some such customs dove cages. Last ones they had but I am sure some must be floating around out there.

Have any of you just woke up picked a random from your collection that you sort of forgot about. Then proceeded to have a fabulous ride with you friend running along side trying too wreck you but because the the bike is so good it just can’t happen? I rode my mt Whitney today n forgot just what...

Arrived in august

Still swimming in mama

Thanks all, just wondering

Hi all, I am trying too identify these handle bars. They are obviously from a dirt bike and are now on a klunker. They bike owner says that they are from 1976 but not sure from what. Any help is appreciated and thanks.

Goes too kickn when one is down. Dosent matter how or why really. In these times with just a few twists of life any of us can land on the streets. Sympathy for fellow people is not just for them. It goes too who you are. Kicking one who probably does not even know that it is happening is a...

Check n uh huh

If a picture is worth a thousand words then those posted are worth a few thousand more. We all have eyes and common sense. If you want that bike get thee to Austin. It is easy too say anything holier than than. You now have have been double dog dared to go buy it. The reason? Too help him

2000 Suzuki bandit with mods. Not for the faint of heart. Gixer 1100 and change motor in a sport Turing set up......leaning more too the sport side of things. Gets too the twistys very fast then is out of gas.

Is everyone missing the pic that says ipoopawa? That is a bike company in Japan that made frames for schwinn and others.

Uh man that dosent rock at all. Maybe rides like a box of rocks

The story is half the fun! Eh, works man wheels? If so, then yes and absolutely they are outrageously heavy.

Is everyone here really drinking thier own cool aid? It is a well known fact that if you had the money you could have any schwinn done in any color way you wanted. Also even the dealer changes the regular Ashtabula blade forks for bmx styles on the cruisers late 70s. So there is no gospel in the...

Cannot fault the creative, that is awesomely strange and cool

Well said

Just proves that anything can be sold on eBay. Kinda the counter point that you really cannot say anything on YouTube without being demonetized. Stay in your consumerism lane too the extreme and look at this rust pile! You know you want it! It is the best rust pile ever made by rust...

Hi a little late too this thread but this may work. It has for me on a Bridgestone mb3 with good paint n a stuck post like yours. Aluminum on cromo. I see you have cut it and sawed the length. Now get the frame in a solid stand or vice with the pain protected and from the top match the width of...

While that truly blows, I am gonna restate the obvious. We have all gone through bad deals and had great ones as well. Remember this bit of wisdom though, we are all just renting for awhile. Nobody takes their collection with them and all the cycle trucks currently in collections will be back...

Wowzeers, if that is the new normal. I am selling off my collection and buying a very large yacht with a crew and will be parked someplace tropical the rest of my short life.

Hello all, This is a first and hope too be annual swap. If you don't know the Hooligan bike club we are a local club in the sacramento area. Sutterville Bike Company is a great local shop that works with every type of bike. There is plenty parking and we hope too see all our local and not so...

Since it is complete already, pass it on too one who loves it if you don’t. It may have been put together but it is together and if it takes 4K too put one together remember that price tag will only go up over time. This one is together and someone will love it. Maybe not in a hurry but, that is...

Man Chris that is the baddest ass story I have heard this year! I hope the owner got the bike of their dreams n at that price too. Those deals don’t happen often but they do happen! The once in a longtime or life time deal is an awesome story.

? Stepper bikes? Really? Mt hood? Chrome mount Whitney with roller cams? No the early mountain innovation time has come and gone. Where can they innovate if they ever get done with litigate. Eh well eh time will tell

O okay copy and thanks

N yes that is a roaster n a king in the background I had too move things around too get my jack out today

Now that got me scratching my head reading this. Beautiful bike but what seat is correct on a 55 vette. I have a red 3 spd that can with the brown saddle like yours gt and I put a red n white S one on. If the brown is correct I will put it back! Also on pedals is it the pedals in the...

First n second or third examples for reference n good luck all Suntour rock crushers

Beautiful work n coming together nicely. I share the thought that a short cage cyclone won’t reach everything you gear combo you have with the triple ta and rear cluster. Maybe a vgt long cage or even an honor long cage? The honor should be easy too find. But the vgt would be like bling. Both...

Yeah that is the type of thing? Thinking though if this is Japanese then just like flying pigeon, forever or Phoenix bike this type of thing is all over Asia n big parts of Africa too. Constantly see asking prices for flying pigeon bikes up there just because there is not a lot of them around...

Hi I found saw this at a local co op and have never seen one like it before. The shop owner said that it is Japanese. It is a little buried but I got the shots I could without taking it all the way out. It is a trike with a dump bed on it?? Help me id it and maybe a value??

Hey slick, white wall asks if you want too trade it for some shelby stuff?

This moded heavy duti is feeling left out

Almost all of these started as a pile of some kind and are in a continuous state of morph. Btw hey fat tire I need some atom brake drum pads, do ya still have them?

Shelby marin style bombercolaon loop tail klunkerschwinn canti hybrid klunker, Canti brake posts n brakes n suntout honor 5 speed then way way of the reservation and in strange nav water. Eh I will let you discuss

Put it out there n it will sell. Like all the references books that have limited first run productions that we use it will be sought after almost as soon as you run out.

Shaft drive bike sweet and def up there

Hey king size, it is a moot point as the chi town schwinn stopped production. If you want an apple for apple comparison then schwinn would have had too last as long AND worksman would have had to compete on the open market more. These are not the case. Btw I have a 62 king size Hd and the black...

Ya hooo!!! Congratulations! Not only did you get some you may want. You got the bank too finish em too with the ones you don’t. Heck gotta love it when a plan comes together ehh?

How it is sold or who too is who meets the price or is successful in negotiating or trading. Pm sent des not mean much

You can best all of these types easily. We all know we can find just about anything we want if we are patient and just put a little aside for the odd time when those deals pop up so random like they do. Without the crazy it is worth a million dollars stories, when we do find that bike or widget...

I rode a hand me down tiger then sting ray. Saved up n bought my first mx style bike with chicken eggs sales. Yep country kids we jump everything, rode any trail and jumped out bikes off train tresses and landed in the river. All just outside our doors. No video game can make you hear feel and...

Of course looking at this repop I would be curious about the quality of any chain they had a hand in Hmmmmmm.

It was said just a moment ago that they should have made it skip and had the chains recreated. If they had and if they made sure we knew they had skiptooth chain for sale, they would have covered all their production cost just selling us new chains!!!! With all the crazy talk about skips being...

Probably thinks because new boutique bikes are so high priced that anything vintage is taging along on some arbitrary sliding price scale. There is no substitute for simple market research. Um dah whatever

Nice work! All the production bikes of the past we love were somebodies styling idea at one point too.

i have them all from original paint bikes too old repaints too frankenbikes, I buy franken bikes because you get a really good parts pile going for restores at a cheap price. I rescue all kinds of bikes from dumps and barns and fields but they have too have been a quality bike too start with...
