I remember just after graduation from College that Team 7-Eleven was formed with Eric Heiden at the core. Schwinn sponsored them the first year and I believe supplied the bikes. Has anyone ever seen one?

My wife spotted this old cruiser in an adjacent neighborhood while out riding her bike. It’s been in the front yard for a week or so. No sign for sale. Looks like a Schwinn headbadge. It’s collecting some nice “patina” sitting outside with unseasonably high temperatures in the 80’s.

This was a gutter find in my neighborhood. I cleaned it up and replaced all the rubber and greased it up. Put on some Schwalbe H-159 tires to replace the OEM Schwinn Puff High Pressure Road Racers. Still have the Puffs if a collector is interested. They actually don’t look that bad, but I...

I just added another Schwinn LeTour to my garage. This one is a Mixte, and a return. I bought it new in 1984 as a pair for my first wife and I, when we lived in Eau Claire, WI. We had baby seats on the Le Tours and rode them to the park frequently that summer. Then we had a third child, moved...

I was coming back from my daily ride on my Specialized Triathlon bike and spotted this 1973 Varsity on the curb a few doors down from my house. My wife had chores for me, so didn’t get back to the Varsity for several hours, but it was still there! Classic green deluxe model with original bar...

https://charlotte.craigslist.org/bik/d/fort-mill-antique-1930s-mens-wards/7453124489.html I see this on my local CL. I’m tempted, but my wife would string me up with the other dozen or so bikes hanging in my garage! Thoughts on this bike?

Interesting looking Western Flyer in Charlotte. Any guess on the age? Nice patina, but seller really likes it.

Ok, so this is likely a copyright photo since in a Rolex advertisement. Perhaps giving a shout out to Rolex makes it ok. I have my Dad’s old 1946 Bubbleback in a drawer somewhere; still runs, but the face has a bit too much patina to have any real value. I thought this old bike in Africa was...

What do some of you guys think about this 1981 Twin on CL? I’ve always wanted to ride a twin. Are there still parts available for that rear drum?

This lightweight is advertised on CL as a 1970's mid to high range, but the black color is throwing me off as most 70's lightweights were brown, gold, blue, silver, etc. The front wheel is not QR. The photo is low resolution, so can't really see the back wheel. Also, the white Schwinn badge...

https://charlotte.craigslist.org/bik/d/garner-bicycle-collection/7248471621.html Can you guys identify any of these?

What do you guys think about this Flying Star? Haven’t seen it in person, but is less than an hour from my house in Charlotte.
