1963 Typhoon

[Superman1984]

So I'm new to Schwinn's...the first bike has 2 braces on the front fender, 12" tip. The other Typhoon has one brace. Probably an 8 inch tip. The top fender is probably 33" long 3 3/4 wide. and the second Typhoon is probably 27" by 2 5/8 wide. I need the longer front fender to accommodate the headlight. I initially thought they had the same fenders....I bought a Typhoon that was being parted out. It has the shorter fender.
Ideally I need a black fender with white pins.

You might want to start a WTB thread, show the actual bike you own, the serial #s and post properly. Not trying to be a jerk but I am Sure you will have better luck vs hijacking somebody's thread in a Middle Weight forum.

That would be the difference between the Typhoon and the Deluxe Typhoon. But in 63, there was no Deluxe Typhoon. To be true to the year and model, you should stick with the single brace short fender.

The fenders on my '63 are not 3 3/4 and were added later. It would have come with painted fenders. I do not think the Typhoon came with a light. My 1962 Fleet did however.

Google “Schwinn brochures” and find the Waterford link. Look a the catalogs/brochures for each year of Schwinn bicycles to see how each model for each year was equipped.

Nice Bike ! I have the exact same one that is curently completely disassembled. Tell me more about the wheels/ tires you speak of. I thought the s-7 wheels only accepted the special 1 3/4 tires?View attachment 1433661

MRG has 26x2.125 brick treads if that's your cup of tea. I would go with the red brick or wide whites on this bike. This bike would really pop. Enjoy and RideOn. Razin.

26x2x1-3/4" are the special oversize tires for S7 rims. Yes, they are different than normal 26x2.125" balloon. @mrg has them.

I have a pair of these wide whites on my 61 American and they really set this bike apart form some of the 26x 2.125 tires on my other builders. RideOn... Razin...
