    Anyone Done a Solex Lately?

    I have e bikes, e scooters, vintage bikes etc. I have interest in getting a VeloSolex, looks like aftermarket replacement parts are around, and they have a good following. Anyone get one up and running lately, and what would be a fair price to offer on a complete non- running tested bike? Thanks

    Favorite Schwinn Rider

    I wish I could find another one of these, it's the 1995 anniversary edition, I bought it new. They're Taiwanese and the quality was good, it rolls, rides and brakes very well, with the 250W hub and doing mostly peddling I get 25 miles easy. Also very quiet, with the nice Schwinn cantilever look.

    Middleweight Tires?

    I have the 26 X 2 X 1/34 on my 2 speed American, it rides nice and has pretty good speed. I have been actually riding this bike on longer rides lately, and was curious if the 26 X 1 X 1 3/4 tires would help for speed, drag etc? (I have a new set). They are skinnier for sure, and would give the...

    First Middleweight Ride of"21"

    Took the 62 American out for a few miles today, snow is starting to melt, still a little chilly. This bike is a great vintage rider, the 2 speed is more than sufficient to get me up hills and some pretty good flat speeds. Gotta get my hub figured out, if I put too much power on in high gear, it...

    My First Free Bike

    Driving home I spotted this at the curb, owner said she was just clearing some stuff out. Couple hrs. of cleaning surface rust, and truing the front wheel and this turns out to be a very nice cruiser. I could not believe how good the paint was, almost unused. I know these Huffy's are low end...

    Tire Question

    Will a set of 26 X 1 3/4 S7 tires (47-571) fit a 26" S5 rim?, I suspect it will not, just curious if anyone has made them work. Thanks

    New Bricks

    Put a set of repo brick tires on my 24" Schwinn, this must feel like it was new. I really like these tires, they run pretty dead silent like the bike. The solid tracking of an old schwinn in good condition amazes me to this day. I let my friends and neighbors ride this thing, and they never want...

    2 Speed Parts

    Any sellers of red band 2 speed hub parts? I have one starting to slip and feels like the high speed clutch may be gone. I can get a functioning donor bike, I just hate parting running schwinn's, and I can get whole bikes for the price of e bay hubs and wheels. Thanks

    Mesinger Seats

    Is there any way of removing the cover and adding foam without destroying them? I have a couple the covers are good and somewhere over the years, the foam was removed or just blew away in dust ( the vinyl S colored type). Thanks.

    Another American

    Picked up a 26" 1962 American, looks like it had a restoration about 20 years ago, paint has been freshened up, wheels painted and striped, Kenda tires, and appears they made a red seat out of a black one? (it looks really nice), I need a headlight and rear reflector, the horn works great! It...

    Repro parts?

    What are the common reproduction parts you find on 50's-60's schwinns? I see a lot of China wheels on bikes I've recently looked at.

    Restore or Rat?

    I picked up this little 24" American, trying to decide if I want to rat rod/bmx modify it, or just restore it? Seems pretty original except for the China rim on the rear.
