Needing some help for a friend, early Schwinn Paramount info. (NFS so please dont ask) He wants to know how to date this beautiful bike, he couldn't find a serial number on the bike. It has Campy pedals, Schwinn hubs and crank, B17 Brooks saddle. My thoughts are it wouldn't have a rear caliper...

Sez 61

Thanks guys we will call it a 57 then, appreciate your help. Mark

I have this great rider but was curious about the date of it and maybe some history, hope there is someone out there that can help. Thanks ahead of time.

Looking to date this Schwinn Traveler, as we all know the dates can be difficult in this era because it can be several different choices. This bike has a 61 dated Sturmey, peaked fender, winged head badge and rounded forks with serial # B69986 which could make it a 1952 - 1953 & 1957 as the date...

It is a all steel frame and fork. Thanks Brant, I appreciate your help. I'll tell Mr. Weber hi for you. Mark

We are in the same group sitting around all wondering what it is. We both posted not knowing each other did also, if we could get a answer that is better in the long run, many minds are better than one. Thanks for all the answers so far.

Thats what we were thinking a garage build but is all original to the bike, has serial number stamped, welds are rough. I have run across those forks before just dont know where. Real mystery any other help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys !!! SEE ADDED PICS FOR FRAME SHOTS

Need some help dating a wood wheel bike for a friend, has Philco brake, wood wheels, fix gear, alot of English parts, very unique fork. Help if you can and maybe a rough date.

Cool old speedo on bike also. Was looking to put a head badge on it but not sure what to look for, guess I have to find where the screws are, of course its been house painted. Anything else let me know.

HELP with make and model of vintage bicycle. Someone thought it might be a Hawthorn looking at the sprocket but not sure, any help would be greatly appreciated. NFS

BIKE NFS I need some help identifying this Murray Eliminator, there are a few pics out there but not finding much more thought I would turn to the bicycle world. Looking for year etc any information would help. Thanks

Sorry I should have said that. The rear wheel is different than the front which looks original. The rear is stamped 66 and we know its older than that. Your right if I look at that chart it looks like a 1953. Thanks for the help.

Looking for some help dating my Raleigh Sport. The serial number under the seat is 1400 under that is BK, tried looking it up and didn't find anything, know there is someone that knows. Front sprocket is blackened thinking war time. Thanks for your help. Mark

Thanks for all the responses, think I'm going to do the wax and see how it does I wont be in alot of water etc anyway so I can just watch it. Appreciate the feedback, the Cabe is the best !!!

Working on a Bare Metal bike and have had many suggestions from wax, oil, clear or matte spray paint. I sprayed a couple pieces clear but I dont like the look, would rather have a natural look with protecting as best as I could. I would appreciate pinions on what others have done, that would be...

Need identification of this old bike, anyone know? Friend of mine sent me pics and was looking for some help. Thanks Mark

Sorry some of the pics are blurry, will take better ones this weekend. Here is the down tube decal pic. Thank you.

Old Continentals, what do I do with them.They have some valuable parts but want to clean and fix them up but torn on how. In my little brain I think should I keep them separate or combine them and make 1 cool one and which way do you go they are both so different and condition varies. Any...

Thanks, haven't cleaned it yet, I'll get some new tires on her and the correct reflectors and ride it on one of our rides. Happy Trails. Mark

Thanks for all that info. Its not a rare find I just have not come across that color, you know you see the green , yellow and brown but not orange. I'll clean it up and get it road worthy and enjoy it. Happy Trails. Mark

Just wanted to share. Bought this 1973 Varsity Sunset Orange have not come across one in this color and with with fenders, anyone else? Guess it fenders were added by dealer and there are thousands of Varsitys made in the 70s, just kind of unusual to me. I'll clean it up and ride it, cant wait.

I have done it myself with sticker that you can get from a sign company (3M vehicle wrap) that will stretch over a metal wheel, very inexpensive. You do need to have a blank wheel and re-spoke it.

Does anyone know if there is going to be a 2019 Memory Lane Spring Swap?

Sounds like he has it in a large box and he is being hit with an oversize box charge, maybe he can ship in 2 boxes to reduce that cost. Or hes just gouging you. Good luck.

stingray jr. sorry the stingray jr sold for 75. in town (St. Louis) thanks Mark

Paramount Thanks Matt, it is a 1968 and I will ad some pictures. I need to find the correct Brooks mattress seat for it but other than that it is complete and in great condition. Mark

BF Goodrich Cheetah II Sorry for the delay. I can box it and weigh it to get an exact price but without doing that it would probably be 40 to 60 dollars what ever it would cost me. Thanks Mark

Looking to date my 1960s Paramount #K807 and wanted to know where to look. It is a Tourist style with fenders, upright bars, Titan neck and steel Stronglight cranks but everything else is Campy. Any help would be great. Thanks Mark

I want to repaint my 61 red Covette which was Radiant red where can I get the paint or match it? I called Pete and he said "He doesnt carry any other colors than whats on a Stingray" so I'm looking for a source. Thanks for your help.

No replies wow I know someone out there knows something about these bikes.

I looked a closer and the crank does have a VERY hard to see 1 after the 4 so it is a 41. Hey thanks for all your help. Mark

A friend called me and asked about his 1954 Varsity he said people he has talked to say they have never seen one and arent sure they made them. He also wanted to know a value. If you know anything about these bikes let me know and what you think a #9 bike would be worth roughly. Thanks

I have a 1961 Panther III what is a rough $ for resale on this bike? The tank and bike is nice and is red. Thanks
