Leon, Thanks so much. Hopefully our paths cross at some point, meeting the 'King of the Classics' is on my bucket list. Do you still have the 1936 Dayton Safety Streamline?

Searches using the model and serial number have come up empty. I figure it's a late 50s model, possibly '57. Other threads suggest confusion about the serial numbers. So far the only missing or incorrect items are the torch, reflector, tires and the Schwinn grips. Where's a good place to find...

I picked this up yesterday. Is this an original chainring? Other than that it seems everything else is original.

A Jaguar that's been in my repair stand for some time. I had planned on working on the Corvette this Winter but most of my off time has been spent getting myself in shape (long hours on Zwift) for the gravel racing season. Time to shed some pounds and get my gravel bike prepped.

The fenders were shot so now it’s a lake-cruising rat rod. https://www.instagram.com/p/CAvEjlXlsu9/?igshid=197yjm7b5hto8 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Prices reduced! These four middleweights, all unrestored, need a new home. My original plan was to overhaul or restore them, but priorities have changed. Prices are negotiable. Fleets sold as a pair. Corvette NFS. Local pickup only. 1959 Jaguar Mark IV. 3-speed. $600 –– Available 1956...

The red Jet Rider, a 1960 tank bike, is the perfect example of a high-end restoration. No corners were cut. Everything works. The blue 1954 Campus Queen was also fully restored. Some bikes are like timeless pieces of art. Some will say this without any substance, whereas I've entered the Jet...

atencioee I appreciate your input. Bicycle Bones has a good selection but none were an exact match. It’s very frustrating because I was getting conflicting information from another mechanic, my father-in-law, I’m working with versus what Gus was telling me. My FIL is very old school and was...

This is the only place. I tried to place an order last Tuesday, 5 days ago. No need to exaggerate. Not seeds of hate, just looking for your reasoning of why you didn't want to do business. I was ready to give you credit card info because I liked your product and seemed highly regarded. Yes, I...

Wish I could say the same. He’s the first vendor I’ve dealt with that was unprofessional. Going back to Crawfords who did the decals for the Columbia. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Has anyone else had a bad experience with Gus Salmon? According to him all he wants to do is work with a 'very selected group of paint shops and friends'. I've been customizing bikes for three years and needed custom decals for a Le Tour I'm restoring. At first he was helpful. He answered my...

Too bad I don’t care for muscle bikes. I had one when I was a kid and hated that i couldn’t jump or corner like the bmx bikes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Damn. What am I missing? I know Stingrays are valuable but $16,500? What’s a realistic price for a ‘65? https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheSchwinnForum/permalink/3219128408162854/?sale_post_id=3219128408162854 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nice find. Blue corvettes sure are sharp. Grease and go ride! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I ended up with this unit off eBay. It shipped from Bulgaria. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Can someone shed some light on the Atom Bte SGDG freewheel removal tool? It took a stop at my LBS to have the freewheel removed on my Le Tour so I could clean it and overhaul the hub. Are there multiple variations? Different spline counts? All I come up with when I search are ads. None of the...

Someone else bought it a few weeks ago. Thanks though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Which are most valuable? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I ask because there was a similar one in my area for $600 and sat for months. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I plead ignorance. What’s so special about it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This came in the mail from Bens Cycle. It’s the closest I could find to the original. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Interestingly enough the tape on it now is an Italian brand from a company called Bike Ribbon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If it’s gone within hours it’s priced too low. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I decided to pass. Too hard of a sell. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Even though I could probably get it for under $50 it doesn’t bode well that I’m trying to talk myself into it. However, I sold a $20 Hercules for $225 so obscurity doesn’t matter too much. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The owner of this Sekine seems motivated to sell. However, I don’t know if I can overhaul and flip it. If it were a Schwinn I would have bought it weeks ago. I’ve heard good things about them but I don’t know if I can convince buyers that a Canadian-made Japanese early 70s import is worth...

Based on pictures probably a ‘68. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No idea. I picked it up from a LBS yesterday. I parted out three different rims to make something work with the fork and tires. This evolved into a Rat Rod project so i wasn’t concerned about period correct, just needed it running. The headlight is the only remaining item to workout. The guts...

2 1/2 years later it’s done. Rat Rod style. I left the tank alone. It’s a rider. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've done a lot of research on this bike. Initially I thought the red bar tape was OEM. Turns out its Italian from Red Ribbon. Probably aftermarket. Some bikes online have red, some black. Schwinn catalog doesn't elaborate. Any idea what OEM color tape was? Finding a NOS 6-speed chain is damn...

How much fun. I was there exactly 4 years ago. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

At first I was determined to find NOS Schwinn. I’ll be content with any leather tape that matches. I have red cork tape but it feels too cheap for this project. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The ‘82 Voyageur 11.8 I picked up recently is in need of red bar tape and derailleur cable housing. I called the local Schwinn shop and Waterford, neither has any. eBay only has translucent tape. From what I’ve read this model originally had a gold freewheel and chain. Looking closer, what i...

Overhauled World Sport. It went from a sickly looking commuter to a wicked fast ride. It was stripped to the frame, cleaned, polished, the works. Then the customizing began. Damn i had fun picking out the right go fast parts. There isn’t a lick of grease or dirt on this thing anywhere. Project...

It was listed online and I wanted to see if the hefty $600 was worth it. It's a clean bike; I'd love to give it a good polish.

I'm using 50/5O SG and tap water. It takes a good hour of cooking and scrubbing to get the desired results. Love it. I deep clean everything now. I see people advertising their bikes as 'restored' online and see the crappy job they did cleaning and polishing it. To most people restore means to...

The only info I can find. Yes, made by Puch. 1964 JC Higgins (PUCH)

What’s the history and what’s something like this worth? Austrian made, apparently quite rare. What model? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Are you leaving it as-is or cleaning it up? If you go the oxy route, hit me up, I restored a girls one 2 years ago. The clearcoat is a bitch to remove to clean the chrome.

ISO cable housing, for brakes and derailleurs in vintage gray. Who makes housing in bulk? Has anyone tried Jagwire in Ice Gray, and if so how close is the color to NOS gray? I'd like to start with 10m or so. No one carries it locally.

Use Simple Green. It's disposable. I made the mistake of taking my used degreaser and mineral spirits to auto parts store to recycle and was told to go pound sand. They only accept oil. SG works as well as the commercial degreaser and I can flush it down the drain.

Quite the contrary, these are art. Some may see metal, I see creativity and ingenuity, something you don't see as much today.

Its all yours man. My wife is already pissed off enough as it is that bikes are taking up space in the living room. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

What’s something like this worth? Just wondering if the hour drive is in order. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Any idea what model this is? The seller has no clue, it was her g-fathers. I don’t recognize any of the parts. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
