Is there a logical sequence for the "month" ID on the crank surface? Obviously, it is not directly the month of manufacture as I have seen 24 (maybe higher) on some Schwinn cranks (e.g. 12 70 is not December of 1970). Is there a correlation there (1 or 2 = Jan, 3 or 4 = February, etc.)? Thanks...

This seems to be a new offering from Schwinn Orient. Have never seen one of these before, I guess it is a tie-in with the Stranger Things TV show that is popular with the kids these days. (I stopped watching after Season 1 when I felt it went off the rails.)

I am looking to get my college-age son a starter socket wrench set and looking for advice. I have my Sears Craftsman set from the 1970's and have never been disappointed, but I hear the Craftsman quality is not what it used to be. Any CABErs have recommendations/experience for modern day...

At the risk of sounding like a noob, what is the purpose of the overload tube on a 5 speed stick shift? It must be something that couldn't be built into the shell of the shifter itself...

Attempting to disassemble and clean Schwinn speedo drive unit to degrease gunk. Now I am having a difficult time removing the black plastic cap to get the worm shaft out. Is it a threaded cap? If so, is it a clockwise or counterclockwise turn to remove? Would love to hear experienced...

When did Schwinn change the Fastback bow pedal style from single arrows to double arrows? I generally thought it was in 1968 Here is a November 1967 (LC) with double arrows (although it could be one of those transition times) Advice appreciated!

What do I need here to disassemble and clean? Looks like a 1-3/4" across the flats wrench?

Just picked up a bare 1971 Fastback frame, no guard/fork Can any experts tell me if there are any frame differences between a 5 speed or coaster?

Picked this up at a garage sale last weekend. No maker's markings on rear or bottom that I can see. Can anyone help me identify the manufacturer and/or applicable bicycles?

I just noticed that when you purchase something on EBay, not only do you pay tax (depending on State, I presume) on the Item, but also on the Shipping cost. Is that legit? I don't recall ever paying taxes on mailing of merchandise from an online store to me as "part of the purchase price". In...

Seen many NOS/used offered on other sites, some not so convincing. Can experts weigh in on what to look for?

Hey all, I have the bottom seat pan from a Persons Solo Polo looking for its' mate. If you can help me out, it would be greatly appreciated so I can get this back on the road. Thanks! 🤟

Ok, so on my non-Schwinn bikes, many of the piece parts are steel (?) but not stainless or chromed. Is there a recommended polish/coating that can be used to protect them from rust buildup if parked/stored for extended time? Typical seat post shown. Thanks for any advice!

Can these be taken apart? I do not see a dust cap that can be taken off to gain access. I took the nuts off the other end, but nothing seems to come apart. Any advice for a newbie? Thanks!

Did not know Schwinn made a candy-stripe seat like this. It must be NOS, you can see it has the "Schwinn Stingray" tag on back with original rivets!!! C'mon, guy!

I am trying to look up some 1960s Schwinn part numbers to see which models have interchangeable parts, but not all items are listed in the Dealer Catalogs. For example, http://www.schwinnbikeforum.com/SLDB/Dealer/1960/60dlct11.htm 1960 Tornado lists a part number for a saddle, but not the...

So my neighbor told one of his friends I am interested in fixing up old bikes and he dug an old Stingray (1966) frame out of his basement that I could have as long as I brought it back and showed him once the resto was complete. Problem is one of his kids had spraybombed it back in the day and...
