    Late 40's Town & Country Tandem on NJ Craigslist

    $275. Not mine, but seems like a good deal for someone looking for one. https://newjersey.craigslist.org/bik/d/nutley-vintage-schwinn-town-and-country/7659125328.html

    Saddle / post recommendations for '52 Panther?

    I want to set up my '52 Panther better as an occasional rider. I'm 6'1, and this is how high I have to get the saddle to get enough leg extension. I really don't like this much post showing. Any ideas on how to get this set up so it looks a little better? Perhaps a cruiser saddle with taller...

    Brief video tour of the Chicago factory

    Apologies if this has been posted before. I didn't see it in the search results. I found this while browsing Youtube. The footage looks to be circa early 70's. The EF process, wheel lacing, and final assembly/inspection. Credit to CONESTYLOW SCHWINN

    1952 Panther

    Seeing @the tinker 's Panther motivated me to pull out mine. This was the first real balloon tire bike I purchased back in 1997. Fresh out of college working my first job, I finally had some money to plow into the hobby. I first saw it listed among the items for sale at a garage sale in town...

    1982-83 Ritchey Competition

    I purchased this bike in 1999 from an antiques dealer in Vermont. She was selling it on consignment for the original owner. This bike has a 21" frame with the faux Annapurna lugs and the biplane fork seen on the earlier Everest models. It was assembled and sold by Charlie Kelley and Gary...

    1936 Motorbike / Cycleplane advice?

    I purchased this bike almost 25 years ago from the original owner. It was obviously ridden a lot (and neglected a bit), and later used by the original owner's kids in the 1950's. The paint is faded out on the front fender, rack and right side of the tank. At one time, I was going to have the...

    Craziest reason ever for buying a bike?

    So....I wanted to see if anyone's thinking was as way out there as mine! 10 years ago, I log on to Ebay searching for vintage mountain bikes and parts. An old, circa mid 80's Stumpjumper pops up, buy-it-now for $30, location Gloucester, MA. It was in sad shape, had a rusty chrome replacement...

    1940's Rollfast ballooner - prewar or postwar?

    I bought this Rollfast from a local collector about 15 years ago, who found it in New York City. It has a ND 2-speed set up and appears to be original except for the tires, grips and bars. It had a set of handlebars from a Dyno cruiser when I got it, and I found these which are at least period...

    1970 Schwinn Super Sport - correct bars and brake levers?

    I recently got my March, 1970 Super Sport back. This will be a Winter project to put it back to its original configuration. I have all of the original parts that were swapped out when it was converted to a tourist, except for the bars/stem/brake levers. The originals were mislaid and it appears...

    1895 Warwick Model 25

    Having owned this bike for nearly a decade now, I think the time has come to finally clean it up and assemble it😁. I expect it will make a great winter project. This bike was manufactured by the Warwick Cycle Co in Springfield, Mass circa 1895. The seller guessed it was 1896, but literature I...

    Is my B-607 a 1946 model?

    I've owned this bike for nearly 25 years, always assuming it was a 1946. It has the pencil stand, oversized Delta horn button, drop center rims, and the bearing cups in the BB appear to be blackout parts, 9-hole rack, Planes/Trains/Autos head badge. Ser# B06439. This is exactly how I got the...

    60's Schwinn Approved Alloy Stem

    These stems were used on 1968/69 Varsities, and perhaps other models. Does anyone know if these stems were 22.2mm or the narrower 21.1mm used on the 70's Varsities/Continentals/Suburbans? Thanks!

    Measure twice, buy once - Schwinn EF frame dimensions

    I purchased this January, 1971 Suburban about a month ago. I really wanted a 23" - 24" frame, but I figured that a longer seatpost would be all that was needed to dial in the fit on this 22" (21"c-c) Suburban. After all, my '82 Sidewinder with the same size frame, fit just fine after adding...

    Ebay 1964 "mystery" Schwinn Continental

    Seller claims this is an October '64 Continental, all original. Has the early Continental "Armor" decals, which I thought were gone by '64. Large diameter seatpost rules out an EF frame, plus it has a cotterless crankset / European bottom bracket shell. Is this a Schwinn fillet brazed frame? I...
