Anaheim Schwinn

Does anyone on here remember the swap meets that used to be held in the parking lot at Anaheim Schwinn? This is where my passion for vintage bicycles started. Would love to hear your stories about this place.

Wow, the days of the multiple meets around socal!, Anaheim, Team bike HB, Doc Gibson's, PeeWee's, Baily Signal Hill, LB model T meet, Gertrude's, ( probably a few more I cant's remember right now ) and the best, Whizz-in HB ( Doc's was a close second ), somebody posted some video from the late 80's ( ? ) for a TV piece of a Team bike swap and really brought back some memories!

No kidding! I live near where Team Bike is. I remember when Gary Hoisington was there (This was 20+ years ago), and there was nothing but vintage bikes! I remember the first time I went in there, and they had a Red Phantom, and a couple Black Phantoms, a red 1930s Motorbike, a couple B-6s, an old JC Higgins bike, and a bunch of other vintage Schwinns. I use to look at the Black Phantoms nonstop, even when they had them at Anaheim Schwinn. I remember one of them being identical to the one I just bought last week. It was an original bike with red handlebar grips, and a drum brake, just like what I have.

I think it was Gary Hoisington that posted that video on Facebook and someone sent it to me because they interviewed me.

I picked up my first Large Basket for a Cycle Truck there, he used to service the trucks for the Post office and had one in the back, the only chrome one I have seen. I am still looking for a couple sets of rear braces for the large basket's that went diagonally to the top of the top tube, seems most got tossed.

It was Gary who posted it. Just finished watching it. Lots of neat bikes!
