Overhauler
Finally riding a big boys bike
Hi all , I drove 60 miles Saturday to a estate auction because of these two bikes that the auctioneer told me (over the phone) hung in a garage of this elderly couples home for over 30 years . I don't think they where ever left outside !
They are a pair of 1963 - 2 speed kickback - with front mouse trap racks - Typhoon and Hollywood.............almost perfect condition except one very small dingy on the rear fender of the Hollywood (as seen in pic)and the masking tape is doing nothing .
After I get them cleaned up I will repost pics .
After I got there and looked at them I was ecstatic , I knew the Typhoon was a kickback because the auctioneer told me it had automatic on the brake arm
, but not both . I thought they would go high like most auctions , but I ended up bidding for choice topping out at $55 and took them both for $110 . I sure am glad I called him for more info , the sale bill just said 2 Schwinn bicycles lol .
Tell me what you think , Lee
