Black one ok?

That you all for your generosity. I have already shipped it off to the first person what reached out to me.

I am reducing the amount of some of the items on my basement shelves and have Barry Gray's great book about Schwinn head badges. I read it and enjoyed it but I think others may be able to use it more . If anyone can pay shipping and would like it, it is yours. I am in 64086 ZIP and I bet media...

Built late 74/early-75, photo mid-75.

WOW. Way cool. What other colors were those available in?

You don't happen to have any more of the fenders and grips there do you? I bought one last year. Thank you. Tom Hand

I did Kevin M. :)

Hello all, looking for a decent black Schwinn Scrambler fork. As long as it is straight, things are good. Finish is not terribly important. Should be dated 1975 till around 1980. Let's see what you all might have you need to get rid of. Thank you!

We used to live by the drag strip so we'd sneak in on MX night and I could ride a wheelie for over 1/8 mile. Once you got it balanced , it was pretty straightforward. Just took the right leaning back attitude and the right amount of pedal power!

Me 50 years ago on my 1949, 49 pound, straightbar Schwinn.

Agreed and it sure has no sign of any nickel or chrome so I am pretty darn sure it is one of the aftermarket blackened ones. Thanks guys! Tom Hand

John, I too noticed the cut out and figured that this must be an aftermarket version threaded the same as Schwinn. Is it safe to assume it is a 1979 version? And, since there is absolutely no chrome, it must have been one of the Ashtabula blackened versions? It is a 6.5" version by the way...

I have been digging in my saved stash of stuff and came across a few things I need help with. First one is this: can you all verify that this is indeed a 1979-1980 Ashtabula black crank? I bet it aftermarket . I am pretty sure it has the 28 TPI Schwinn threads on it since it had Schwinn...

Another green straightbar.

Same 1949 Schwinn in 1972. Prior to any organized races.

My big 26" Schwinn after a day of racing at our first BMX race in 1974.

Does this have the 22" front tire/wheel?

Not done but getting closer. A 1976 gold Scrambler.

If more information is needed, be glad to shoot more photos to show its inner pages condition.

I've seen one like this and seems like it had a white banana seat. GT, not much room on the drop center rim for a brake pad though, is there? It sure looks like it had something in the fork.

I've got a Volume 1 manual sitting on my shelf that I figure another person needs more than I do. I would like to get $45 for it plus shipping. I suspect shipping might be around $10 media mail but I can verify if you share the destination Zip Code. I am in 64086. It is little rough on the...

1975 CCM Bobcat. I think this is it RF. Go look at the gussets on the one on the BMX Museum site. Quite a find!

RF, can you see the gusseting on the Black Widow? I can't but it my just be the angle of the original photos.

WOW!

CBJ: I looked for the patent and never found one. But, many companies apply and then use the "patient pending" as limited protection. It may be there is a method patent Schwnn got for the way they made it but I found nothing from 70 till 90 related to the sprocket or chainwheel. I wonder what...

Thank you again for doing the for me and others ! Tom Hand

Tommy is the man with the S2 plan!

Juvels, I have never seen another set in white so I bet they too are from the same time frame: 1971 to 1976 or so. Good luck with the Raleigh; I remember seeing them for sale.

Did someone say Bluemels Popular fenders? Still have mine I put on my Gitane when I built it in 1974. I used to ride it to work and needed to keep the spray off the back of my dress shirts. Sorry for horrible fluorescent light distortion of the color in images.

What size is the Binder bolt on the Stingray stem and if it is truly BSF 3/8-20, where do you get the tap? Thank you. Tom

John, any idea what the rear one looks like for sure? I have rectangular one but it was one Schwinn used. Oops, never mind.I found an image of a screamer and the one I have is way off. Sorry John.

Thank you for sharing this!

I think there are/were a few featured in the early BMX NEWs papers.

The first one does look a little light on HD parts but the disassembled one has ones that match bikes in this photo. And the second has the right chain "guard" for sure.

Evaporust does really well. Leave it in a long time and the rust turns black and rinses/rubs off pretty easily.

I just dropped off all the parts to my 76 Scrambler for Detray to do since I live here in KC. $175 minim for cadmium plating.

Looks like mine!

He was very kind and responsive when I bought his book a few years ago. Maybe he is out temporarily?

Any of you Schwinn literature collectors have one of these?

Gt, that is the book I am looking for only for the mid 1970s. Love to see one of them as well and thank you for sharing this one. interested in the bolts that held fenders and seats on the later Stingrays.

Are you trying to sell yours? I need nice one. Would you be able to share photo with me of yours? Thank you!

Hoagie, you need dimensions from the Scrambler sissy bar? I have a 76 version. It is really corroded but looks OEM.

Good day and thanks for any help. Does anyone on here have a mid 70s Schwinn parts book? Trying to figure out what the part number is for a 20" rear fender brace, cad plated, not chrome. Like to know the number for the middleweight and balloon tire version. Thank you! Tom Hand

Anyone have set of handlebars for a mid 1970's Schwinn Scrambler in your stash that you need to move? The set I need will be black. This is an image of what they look like; thank you for allowing me to share this photo. Tom Hand

Thank you. I have that one bookmarked as being a great shot to use. I appreciate you all taking time to help. Tom

Thank you. Can't view the individual image closely as it needs an out dated Flash player. Some of the images are pretty clear though so thank you.Tom

I am trying to find a more accurate photo of the real 1976 Scrambler or the advertisement that will enable me to match this gold color. What might you all have? Thank you! Tom Hand

1972. We built a front suspension for my brother's 24" soon to be BMX bike; it was modeled after the DKW motorcycles. You can see my brother in the photo in Spring 1972 and how well he survived the crash caused by a failure in our front end design. We fixed it and he was back on it after his...

Wow! That is in amazing shape. Those tires look like motorcycle tires. I bet that bike is relatively heavy with the HD rims and tires and spokes. I'll see if I can find one like it in my books too.
