Guess not....haha!

Not my event, but the flyer found me.

Anyone familiar with this book? I've searched here, and on google. Trying to find the title, author, or a link leading to where i can purchase a copy. Maybe im not searching correctly? Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks!

Damn! That's cool!

Just remembered something about the disc rockers i bought for mine. They were half as thick as the rockers that came on my type 2. Didn't seem like an issue, until i was putting them on. The brass bushings i received with the disc rockers were made for the thickness of the non disc rockers. My...

Thanks everyone! Love riding this bike!

This is a type 2. I originally bought it for a motorized bike i was building. For a bike you are just cruising at 25mph, its fine. Well, even at 25 or under it can be a bit scary when hitting a bump or pothole while cornering.

Thanks for the replies. No tag on bottom bracket, no holes or signs of holes even.

Thrown together with mostly parts i had on hand. Still not exactly sure what it is though. Super fun bike to cruise around on!

Found this over at ratrod, guy seems to think it's a 41 Monark. Looks quite a bit like what i have here. Thanks for the replies. I'm going to keep researching and look for a definitive answer

got this in a trade at a swap earlier this year. The dropouts look similar to my Colson?? Serial number is on the left dropout. Sorry, the pics are not great. I'll post more if needed. Thanks in advance! Matt

Im still leaking. Haha!

Thanks for the reply. I got the cap off. Put the pedal in the vice, gave my thin, but stout flathead two good cracks with the hammer and it popped right off. Its definitely not a thin flimsy cap, the screwdriver barely put a mark on it.

Anyone know the proper way to remove this type of end caps? Thanks in advance! Matt

I've had an account for a year or two, but have been on here a bunch of times over the years. Google research is what led me here originally. As far as riding bmx, im still at it!

I've done a little research, but can't seem to find much info. I made a new gasket out of rubberized cork gasket material, not working so good for me. Is there something more proper you guys recommend? Retailer with a quality gasket, or new cap? Many thank! Matt

Hey amanda! Cool bike! How have you been? Been riding any bmx?

I bought this 61 schwinn off my local craigslist for practically nothing. Nothing to special, but i really liked the frame. My intention from the start was to motorized it. Obviously it had the wrong chaingaurd, headbadge. I was pretty sure the pedals and bars were wrong as well. Wheels were...

Thats pretty nice! I'm into the Chinese 2 stoke engines, cheap thrills for sure! The more i got into the local motorized bike scene, the more i learned about getting power out of these cheap motors. Lots of cheap upgrades that help performance, plenty of gimicky junk that doesn't really perform...

Some good information here guys. I was able to find out a couple of days ago that i needed 1/8 npt for the threads in the tank. Initially I was going about it completely wrong. I measured the opening and got roughly 5/16, so i was kinda confused. Haha! I have a repro sediment bowl set up that i...

Can any of you Whizzer guys tell me what thread my old embossed Whizzer tank is? Im not sure if there is a petcock that fits? Or if im going to use the sediment bowl, maybe just a fitting with line to a filter and inline shutoff? Anyone know the thread size on these tanks? Thanks Matt

Really cool bike!
