Here is the latest addition to my lightweight collection, a 1981 Schwinn Le Tour Tourist in Spicy Chestnut. I've wanted one of these for some time simply because I like touring bikes with fenders. This bike was probably made by Panasonic for Schwinn and features Shimano, Sugino, Ukai and Dia...

I'm looking for a black Sprint leather saddle for a '65 Schwinn Varsity. The saddle must be very nice to mint. I'll pay up for the right saddle. Thanks, mike

Hi Everyone, Here is the latest addition to my collection, a 1965 Varsity Sport in Violet. I purchased this bike at the Hurst,Tx. show put on by Scott McCaskey. The turn out was light with a couple of vendors already gone by the time we showed up at 9:00 a.m. I wasn't really looking for a bike...

Hi Fellow Cabers,, I just picked up a really clean '65 Violet Varsity at the Hurst, Tx. bike show. It's already torn down and being gone through and I'm looking for a nice round "bullseye" headbadge for it. The badge that is on is has faded to silver. The down tube decal has suffered the same...

Hi Everyone, I recently aquired an interesting vintage Schwinn lightweight item I want to post here. It's a Sprint shifter conversion kit, facilitating the ability to change downtube shifters to stem shifters. When Frank Brilando designed the stem shifter, it was a more ergonomic way to change...

Hi everyone, Here is a bicycle that found its way back to me after eight years. I was riding it when a friend of mine saw it and had to have it. After a period of time, he auctioned it off for charity, where it was purchased by a gentleman who is an archeologist. I thought it was the last I...

Hi Everyone, Here are some pictures of a 1964 Schwinn Co-Ed. Many thanks to bikepaulie for allowing me to be its next caretaker. This bike and I crossed paths a few years ago, when Paul bought it off of another CABE member. He gave it to me to overhaul, detail and straighten the front fork...

Hi Everyone, I just received a few more awesome "Boris" reflectors in the mail and I wanted to show them off. Dave does beautiful work and creates these mini works of art for your bike. He offers different styles, but I'm partial to the head bearing race, rogue bottle cap design. If you want to...

I just saw a pretty clean '71 3 speed Stik Shift Sting-ray on the Denver craigslist bike listings for 800.00. There are good pictures, I'm not sure if I can figure out how to post them.

Here are some pictures of the latest addition to my collection, a February 1974 Opaque Red Speedster. I searched quite awhile for a three speed version with a 21" frame and I finally found one. The bike has been overhauled and detailed with some accessories added. I installed lever covers...

I'm looking for a n.o.s. rear chrome fender for a 1974 Schwinn Speedster. It should have one hole for the round reflector and a fold over style edge. If the sticker is present, the part number will be 52 704. I do not need the braces or clip. Thanks, Mike (kostnerave)

A friend of mine wants to ship a bike to me from the Chicago, Illinois area to Austin, Texas. He just got a quote for 310.00 for UPS Ground. Is there anything cheaper? Any advice or help is appreciated. Thanks, Mike

Up for sale is a 1982 Ross Diamond Cruiser. The bike is super clean with very minor scratches on the right seat stay and lower right fork arm, probably from storage. The original foam padding and grips were disintegrating, so I installed red Oury grips. The bike was torn down, overhauled...

Up for sale is a pair of Western Flyer white wall tires. The tires are supple and have no dry rot cracks. From the code embossed on the side wall, they appear to be dated 1963. The size is 26x 1 3/8, with an ISO size of 590mm which is suitable for EA3 rims. These tires WILL NOT fit Schwinn S-5...

Hi Cabers, I think I've found a subject commenting on and grumbling about. It's the lack of attention to detail concerning bicycles used in "period piece" filming. I know this situation has been going on forever, but why do technical advisors, while working on "period piece" T.V. shows and...

I'm looking for information about the unicycles featured on The Monkees T.V. show. I'm posting the inquiry here because it seems to fit the Sting-ray/ Musclebike genre, and it's custom culture related. My internet searches have provided a few still shots of The Monkees riding them around and...

Here is a 1969 Schwinn Collegiate I acquired about three years ago off of ebay. At first, I thought it was priced a bit high for the model and year, but after close study of the pictures provided with the auction, I decided to purchase it. When I received it, I was surprised to find an all...

Here are some pictures of my latest acquisition, a Kmart All Pro "lightweight" 3 -speed bicycle, manufactured by Murray. Using the Murray Serial Number Project information, available here, I was able to date the bike to 1972. I recently attended a bike show put on by some great people, in Hurst...

Hi Everyone, Here are some pictures of my latest acquisition, or should I say reacquisition. Thank you to bikepaulie for selling her back to me! It's a 1967 Schwinn Varsity Tourist with some unusual features. The most obvious, Violet wasn't a color option for '67 on the Varsity Tourist. The...

Hi, I'm searching for a pair of Schwinn small cap bow pedals in near mint to n.o.s. condition. They must have clean end caps with no rash. 1/2" axles would be nice, but I can convert a 9/16" pair, if I have to. I'm willing to pay fair money for the right pedals. Please PM me if you have them...

Hi Cabers, I know I posted this bike awhile ago, but I wanted to post some updated photos of the bike. It came to me with a dealer installed black Schwinn mattress saddle, at the original owners request. I wanted a red Brooks B17 saddle for it, but I couldn't find any available. I was on the...

Here is my latest project, or rescue, as it were. It's a 1971 Schwinn Super Sport in Kool Lemon. This bike was languishing for many years in a garage in Texas. it was filthy when I picked it up and the grease was so gummed up, nothing moved! Of course I tore the whole bike down, including the...

Here are some pictures of my latest acquisition, a December 1960 Raleigh Sports DL22. To my knowledge, the bike is all original, including tires and tubes. A seat bag and lever covers appear to have been added at a later date. The bike features quality and detail throughout including: "dull"...

Hi everyone. Here are some pictures of my latest project, a 1974 Schwinn Sports Tourer finished in Opaque Red. I spotted this bike on ebay, listed for a lot of money. The price convinced me to pass, but I kept coming back to it to see if it had sold. Finally, I contacted the seller to see if he...

Hi, I'm looking for a new red Brooks B17 Saddle for one of my bikes. They're pretty much out of stock everywhere I've checked. Any help or information is appreciated.

I know the description isn't correct and the pictures for the listing are fuzzy, but I think this could be a Terra Cotta Continental. This might be a diamond in the rough! http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&toolid=10001&campid=5335809022&icep_item=193558346522

Hi Everyone, Here are some pictures of my latest project, a 1982 Ross Diamond Cruiser. A friend of mine who is into BMX, actually saved the bike from being thrown out. He gave it a quick wipe down, removed the disintegrating handlebar foam, installed red Oury grips, SE tires and re-cabled it...

Hi Everyone, Here are some pictures of my latest project, a November 1964 Schwinn Sky Blue Varsity. I believe it to be a '65 build as the front fork is date stamped 2+5, February of 1965. I was first made aware of the bike over a month ago by a fellow Caber, who spotted it on a Craigslist...

Hi Everybody, I'm searching for some information about my latest acquisition, a 1977 Schwinn Volare. The bike seems to be original except for tires,tubes and brake lever hoods(cane creek). I beleive these were made by Panasonic for Schwinn, using 531 Reynolds tubing. All of the components...
