I'm going to hold onto this one and ride it. But if I change my mind I'll let you know.

I FINALLY got the bike in my possession. Just brought it home yesterday.

Unfortunately it appears that the rims on my bike are not the original rims. The rear is a hi-stop coaster brake but I haven't found any markings of a mfg yet.

Thanks, that was a interesting article. I was going to ask, if my bike was more valuable being a one year only color ( if I can save it) and also being a Hungarian bike. After reading this article it would be safe to assume that, it may be kind of a rare bike but to anyone that would have the...

Figured it out, 1991.

Awesome! Thank you! I'm trying to figure out which year catalog this is.

So I've also figured out, the "HL" on the stem is Hsin Lung, the crank is a FU PAO and the BB components are YST corporation. All of these brands came on some vintage BMX bikes. In your opinions do you think this is all aftermarket or did these parts come on "90's" cruiser bikes?

Unfortunately the bike was painted at least once but I think twice maybe. Under the badge was a darker shade of blue, it looked like they painted over the decals so I used some graffiti remover and it was actually just, what I was the original white that was showing up through the crappy paint...

If the stem is the correct stem for the bike I would assume the 90f is the date code?

Wow, thankyou guys so much for all the help, yes I noticed the stem was way to high as well. Speaking of the stem it is made by HL? The same manufacturer made the GT handlebars that came on a 99' interceptor I have. The crank appears to be made by YST corporation. And the stamp on it reads FU-PA0165

Wow Thanks! That's the one!

Cool thanks buz! I couldn't find one with the round badge, looks like we got it figured out! Thanks again!

Yeah that is kinda what I was thinking, the forks seemed to be from a more modern bike. The only part about the head badge is when I found the bike, the head badge was mounted upside down, so either it had just been removed and replaced wrong or it's not the original, I would say they removed...

Ok that's what I saw as well, I'm assuming it's just the model that makes it different. But just to show you what it is I'm looking at that is throwing me off, heres a pic of a 74' frame vs. This one, granted they are two totally different frames, the 74' frames top and bottom tubes mold into...

Yes the tool says it's a 72' but that's what I'm confused on. It doesn't seem to match up with the other cruisers from 72'.

Hello, I'm hoping someone can help me determine the year and/or model of what i have hear. According to the serial number tool it is a 72' but I'm not sure how accurate that is. Some of the parts line right up with that but obviously some things have been changed (I think), but what has me...

Yeah, I was wondering about the brakes myself, I was trying to figure out what the "v" on the bolts stood for, assuming it is the brand. I haven't started on the tear down yet but I'm sure when I get them off that info will present it self.

Ok, Thanks guys!

Ok, I was kinda feeling that but, again I'm not real familiar with my. Bikes. Heres a couple more pics of the cantilever brakes,thumb shifters and the seat brand

I recently was given this Columbia ATB and as you can see it needs a lot of love, mountain bikes are not so much in my wheel house so I'm looking for a little advice. Is this bike something that is worth the time its going to take to get it back in shape or should I salvage what parts are decent...

Great Thanks! Yes the vintage trek site is great! I have been on the run ever since I dropped it off at home and haven't had much time to take a super close look. I was just searching online for info every chance I could yesterday lol, I agree that it seems to be much newer then 65' but I...

Hello Everyone,I just got this sebring and I've been trying to do some research on it to figure out the year and the ballpark value. I've found a couple in the $300 range and then other guys say they are worth $20. I just want to know what I have. According to date charts it's a 65' but this is...

Sold.

Sold.

I made a change to the bars, and the bike is forsale now. $250 obo

91' schwinn sting 100% chromoly, araya 7x rims, unknown handlebars with a'me grips, Pr1mo stem, ACS 860 brake with Lee chi lever, aluminum seat post, tien hsin cr-mo crank. $250 obo

All the parts so far have been factory schwinn to my knowledge but the sprocket looks different to me, nothing about it says or looks like schwinn?

Wow cool, same year and everything.

Well the guy gave the as he called it " fixie" bike for free so he obviously had no idea what he had. The paint can be removed though so no biggie really.

Not sure if helps narrow it down but this is on the handlebars. Obviously it's a 74, but are the other numbers a model number or just m

Ok, the collegiate was my other guess. Thanks!

Yes, there are hack Mark's everywhere! There is still a tab that I think would have been the rear chain guard mount. The bike was given to me from a guy that I was actually buying a 90's dyno bmx frame from. It is set up currently as a Fixie. But to my surprise i noticed the front wheel is a...

The serial number tool says it's a 1974, and from the catalog pics I would say it it most likely a speedster but I'm not 100% on that

Serial number was on the head tube, EK628864

Thank you! There are a couple of spots that have obvious grind spots that was puzzling me until you mentioned the cable guides.

Hi, I have what appears to be a old schwinn bike but I can't find a serial number anywhere. I believe the original color was red or orange. Any thoughts on what it is or possibly a year?

There's another one forsale on FB

I recently noticed he reduced the price to $250

I've been messaging with him and told him it seems from the research I've done, at best maybe$ 200 and he kinda agreed. So if your interested let him know. Or I can get the info

Anyone know about these bikes?

Saw this and decided to pass it on. This guy is selling this bike on FB, looked super cool.

Awesome! Those are some great memories, thanks for sharing!

Bike is sold

1991 schwinn sting, its not anywhere as cool as the sting's that came before it but still a pretty cool bike. I haven't decided what I'm gonna do with it yet but I thought some of you might think it's cool

Yes. I sold it a while back. Shipped it to Michigan.

This is a 1979 Team murray bmx bike, it is all original, it is in great shape considering it hasn't really been cared for much before I got it. The only things it needs are a rear tire and a little cleaning of the chrome. 150 obo.

Thanks! It's a fun bike to ride too, I also picked up a redline that's a little newer and it fits me better so I'm probably going to let the Trek go, but for now I'm having fun thinking I'm 13 again and hitting the jumps with my kid.
