    Paint Stripper Recommendations Please.

    GTs58, this is a different bike from the 56. I just wanted to strip the paint today. I tried another brand “Kleen Strip” and it was a little better but not much. I actually got some on my arm and it didn’t even hurt. I remember getting paint stripper on my hand as a kid back in the 70’s and...

    Paint Stripper Recommendations Please.

    I just attempted to strip some flaking spray paint off of an old bicycle frame. It was this stuff called Sunnyside 2 minute remover. I globbed it onto the frame and kept an eye on the paint. It didn't bubble up. I left it on for ten minutes and if anything, the stripper actually made the paint...

    1955 Flying Star Pictures Please

    Wow, thanks you guys. I appreciate you posting these pictures Jeff. I was just thinking that somebody needs to start a thread. A Schwinn timeline for pedals with pictures and bike models each pedal was used on. I've looked all over the web and that information has been really hard to find.

    Hey guys, when you look at the second picture of my bike at the beginning of the thread, you can see a square piece of steel that holds my kickstand on. Is that correct?

    I landed the exact bike I was lookng for, what can you tell me about it??

    That's funny, I've got a frame with the serial number on the bottom bracket and when I looked it up it said 52 or 57. Maybe somebody didn't get the memo that they're supposed to put the serial # on the drop out. I dig those cork grips and your bike is super cool.

    S2 rim repair?

    Hi, I just purchased what I believe to be a 1955 Flying Star with a straight bar frame. 26" It is a middle weight frame.
