Cant beat the Price!

One of my “Neighbors”(I use this term loosely because I live in the country and 4 miles is considered a neighbor lol) told me about some old bikes he had and that he’d like me to have them. Nothing ridiculously valuable, but still of some significance, and awfully generous nonetheless. 1967 Schwinn Deluxe Collegiate with headlight, taillight, speedo, and air pump(anybody have a tailight lense for this?). And an old “musclebike” Murray built Gambles Hiawatha Sidewinder. Not sure on year of this one, can anyone help me out? Neat bikes, not sure what I’m going to do with the Hiawatha… He also says he has his wife’s original “Slik Chik” with the OG slick on the back, and complete paperwork for the Collegiate.

Sidewinder: Different paint scheme, name and a coaster brake vs 5-speed, but basically, it's the same manufacture sold with Sears label.

Sidewinder is Murray made. Sticker head badge means it's more than likely a 72. Good condition. Nice finds.

Well, there was a “Gambles” store in Carlinville(my hometown) at one point. My dad was born in 1966 and does not remember it being around. The bike was bought from the store by a kid in town, but must’ve closed shortly after because my dad doesn’t remember it there.

My first bike was a Murray built Hiawatha Cadet my dad bought for me in 1967 when I was 7 from.the Gambles in Platteville Wisconsin.. I rode the wheels off that bike until.it got ripped off out of our garage a couple years later... I loved that bike.. Great score on 2 COOOL old bikes.. RideOn..
