Haha its all good. KC?

You must have done some stalking.

So it obviously has the excelsior badge...but would you consider it a rollfast? Im not sure how that is viewed.

Looks like a rollfast chainring.

It has an excelsior badge on it. Ill add a photo.

Just trying to id this excelsior im picking up today. Thanks!

It is in very good shape. I bought it from a guy i know…who got it from the original owner. It sat in my friends shed for 15 years. I dont think it saw much use at all. Im not doubting you on the date. But it doesnt look like a bike built in 63…to me anyways.

Do you know the SN on yours? Mine appears to be the same bike. SN T005709. I am not very knowledgeable on a lot of the Schwinn stuff as far as serial numbers etc. mine looks like a bike built earlier than the 60’s. And I could be very wrong that’s always a possibility. for sure.

T005709

Thank you! Im not too fond of evaporust. But i do have large electrolysis tank. I have actually never put chrome in it but i see no reason it would cause an issue. The lil tiger really is in good shape and ill probably take that advice. It hasnt been cleaned in the 15 years ive had it so thats...

I had checked that. Not alot to go on there. Tandems are not usually my thing and i didnt want to pay too much. I think i got it for a fair enough price that im ok on it. It is in good shape. Might be a fun bike for the summer.

I typically dont ask this. But im in the dark on tandem values and there arent that many i see sell. Any thoughts on what it may be worth. I know thats subjective to multiple factors…

Thank you. Im looking tomorrow and will check the serial #. I guess i was a little off on the date…this is is why I ask here! I appreciate it.

I picked up a 5 speed stingray the other day…its a touch rough and definitely needs restored. The lil’ tiger was the first schwinn I ever bought, about 15 years ago. This was well before i knew anything about vintage schwinn, I just knew i liked it. I think i paid $20 at a yard sale. I always...

Came across this tandem today. I think its mid to late 40’s. Any info would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Ya. I think so! I really like it asthetically. From a distance. Kind of makes me want to build one in a similar way. Except…properly.

Yes.

Yes. The double bottom tubes actually were butt welded together. One seam in each about 5” from each bottom bracket on opposing ends. I personally think its neat in appearance. But not up close. It was pretty obvious that there were 2 very different skill levels of weld/braze going on.

No. I didnt take any. It was definiely homebuilt. The situation was less than comfortable….

I looked at it yesterday. It is. And pooy done at that.

Hah yeah. I went and looked. A poorly done homebuilt.

Bummer. I’m not Bummer. I’m not too far from it I’m gonna stop and look anyways. It also has mismatched sprockets. And that tensioner sprocket hanger looks like a big chunk of iron hanging there. I do feel like I’ve seen a couple of frames that had those oddball gussets at the bottom. I’m not...

Am I correct in thinking that most tandems are a women’s frame in front?

I’m going to look at it. I was thinking it was possibly a homemade frame?

Im just looking for any info on this neat old tandem. Thanks!

Can anyone tell me….anything about this tandem? Thanks -Evan
