Thanks. But I missed them. I knew I should have got them both for $150 and asked questions later,,,lol. Oh well.

I'm still too new to know anything. Are these old classics or newer reproductions. What might they be worth. Thanks.

Just wondering what kind of carrier you guys use on a curved tube cruiser. I've got a 64 Schwinn American that I would like to take camping with me. I have found this carrier that seems like it would work. The guy says it has a rubber tube over the hooks. I would still put a piece of foam over...

Just got a couple of freebies. They were supposed to be $20 for the pair. I was going after the light. Poor pics. When I got there I said they were too rough and didn't want them. No harm. Got to talking to the guy and it turns out he knows my brother. So he gave them to me,,,lol. The more I...

Well does it work,,,,lol. Any brighter. How about a pic.

So I scored me a old PCS-1. Talking to Park about it (before I bought it) he believes it is a first gen, pre 1996. This thing is in excellent condition. From the research I did before buying, everything I read said if you can find one of these oldies buy it. So I did. Now I hope this is the...

Well kinda. Just having fun trying out my new stand. Thought the Spacelinger looked like it was heading out into the stratosphere,,,lol.

Just now put a 2.47v .30 watt bulb in. It still doesn't work. I'm electrically challenged. Can anyone tell me where to put my test least to test it.

So I got the light. First thing I did was open it up and the bulb fell out onto the concrete floor and broke. Dang!! It had a 2.5v in it. All I had 2 put in it was a 1.2v and it does not work. I would hope I would get at least something. Should I. Or is this bulb just wrong and it won't light...

I found a bike with a pumpkin light on it.Speedo too. Seller says neither work. May need batteries or bulb. She don't know. It's the later style with the side markers. Does that take one of those weird bulbs that I will never find. From what I can tell the chrome is about a 6-8 condition...

Does the generator make it harder to pedal at all?

Do these lights have to have a ground screw dig into the frame. Or can you run a wire under a bolt somewhere. And can you put something under the clamps to keep from damaging the frame. My paint is too nice to poke a hole in, or damage by clamps,,,,lol.

Well I get I would have to kick that 2 speed in low and peddle my arse off,,,lol. I sent you a pm. Thanks

Does this type put out much light?

So I want to put a light on my 64 American. I wouldn't mind something original. But not really sure what would be on there. I THINK I've seen them with just a battery operated tear drop light. And also a gen tear drop light. Are both of these correct. I don't have to have 100% original, all...

Well what the heck are you supposed to carry on it. I can not fine one single pic of a front carrier in use,,,lol.

So is this front carrier not meant to carry a basket?

Can someone post a picture of how the basket stays put at the rear. I someone has to have one of these baskets,,,lol.

Just wondering if you guys have came up with a suitable replacement basket for a 60's carrier. I need one for my 64 American. I think it will look like this.

My neighbor who is a very sprite 72, in better shape than me, just came over. I showed him the Higgy. He was givin me crap. He said it's a friggin girls bike. I said it don't matter to me. He said it did to him, "I got nut's" he said. I said go throw your leg over that Spacelinger. Well He...

I got the front carrier put on,,,loosely. I need to center the front axle. What size cone wrench do I need? The upper clamp says Schwinn on it. No marking on the rest. Is this carrier period correct? Is there a special washer that goes on the underside of the top clamp on the carrier. I just...

Finally a better pic. Is the the period correct rack. He gave me a front one for it too but I need to get a bolt to install it.

The bike has been painted, so the forks are original, but painted. Triangles just masked off and painted on,,,lol. Nothing I can do about that. I did all ready have a chain gurd on the way. Just got it today. Also got a Troxel seat. Don't know if it's original, but it's better than what was on...

Well they are both marked tubular, just in different locations. But I can only find S7 on one of them. Guess I better clean them up. Will having the wrong rims on there hurt the value of the bike. I know he swapped them. I could try to get them, but I bet it will cost me.

So does that mean since the same tire is on the other rim, it is an S7 also, and I'm just not seeing the stamping? And what does BSD mean,,,lol.

So is this in fact the right tire for an s7? The other rim looks the same. What might it be. Is there any way to identify it. Thanks

Just picked this up. It's over all fairly nice. It was advertised as a 2 speed. But I could see a single red band in the pics. When I questioned him on it he got a little defensive, but assured me it was a 2 speed. When I got there it was indeed a 3 yellow band 2 speed. I'm thinking he had the...

I wasn't really worried about being seen on a girls bike. I don't care what others think. Just wondering if I was going to be doing something wrong. I "AM " a violator,,,lol. That being said I did get it. I brought it home and went for a ride. Then some big mean girl pushed me down and took...

So the seller is saying this is a 2 speed kick back hub on a 64 Schwinn. Is something amiss here?

In 1964, was there a single red band 2 speed on a Schwinn 26'' All I'm seeing is a search is 3 red bands. Just wondering if there's such a thing as a 1 red band 2 speed. Thanks

Is this worth $200?

Since my spaceliner is a base model that never came with a springer, as far as value goes, would a purist collect say That the springer adds no value. It's a piece together.

I'm an old guy, 60. I really want to ride a bike for exercise. Would a big steel tank Higgy be too heavy? I do have a spaceliner I just got that I'm working on. But man. Those old big Higgy's really do it for me,,,lol.

I don't want to get a bunch of bikes. No room for them. I want just one rider, maybe 2,,,lol. Ya right. I would really like an old JC Higgins. I collect Coleman and Sears lanterns. Have a bunch. JC Higggins too. So I seen a really cool old JC Higgins. But it's a woman's bike. Is it taboo to...

Just wondering if it would be considered Sacrilege to put a springer front end on my base model spaceliner. I can get the western flyer for $100 or less. He's asking $100. Would this be destroying a good bike, Or should I do it,,,lol. My spaceliner. Donor western flyer. I could use a...

Do you happen to have a write up on that? Thanks

Well I have light. But it aint worth a hoot,,,lol. It's very dim. I guess maybe the 1.2v bulbs are too dim? I'm open for suggestions.

That's what I thought too. But can anyone tell me if I have the batteries in right,,,lol.

I just got this 463030 for $50. I really want to see this light work,,,lol. The wires were all badly spliced together and broke off the replacement switch. The bulbs that were in it are bad. They are 1.5v. I could only find 1.2v and 2.5v bulbs. I went with the 1.2v. Will these be ok. I think I...

So I cleaned the paint off the bars and stem. Both are shot as far as being nice. I'm wondering since this is a base model that has been re-painted (I can see over spray and paint is flaking in spots) is this thing worth put much money in. I can see at least $200 right off the bat. And I don't...

If I'm understanding the chart right, my 46303 is a 66-68 because I have a tear drop reflector and 2 rack reflectors. Am I right? Also look at my vin. Is that a c after the 46303. 46303 (1964-68, 26", Straight Tank, Men's, 1-speed, 1 round rear fender reflector in 64-65 was changed to a...

New guy here. This is my first vintage bike. I know nothing about bikes except basic mechanics so bare with me. I do restore old motorcycles so I got an idea of how to do things. Heck. I'm older than this bike,,,lol. So I just got this Sears Spaceliner for $50. Don't know if I did good or not...
