First schwinn to play with

[Melissamp99]

Thanks I am soaking a rim right now that is off of my first love. My columbia. In kinda scared as the rust is coming off, but if looks very dull. The turtle wax rust remover and Polish sucks so I think I will try that Simichrome stuff allot of the guys talk about. I'm hoping my rin shines up nicely. I can say this about the results from the oxalic acid. That stuff works pretty dam good at removing the rust. But as I am a rookie at this, I'm not sure when to pull the rim out. Guess is a learning process.

nice bike! red band,rbi bend rear hubs were correct for a standard one speed schwinn in the '60's. one of the easiest hubs to rebuild,and one of the best hubs ever built,in my opinion. i recommend TR-3,made by blue magic,a resin glaze,for cleaning up the paint. won't screw up the decals,chain guard lettering,too. good luck,and enjoy,Keith

Ok guys so this is what I picked up yesterday. It's a 1968 schwinn copperton typhoon w/bendix. It has some surface rust but is in overall good condition. My question is this. Since there are no markings on the bendix how do I know what it is and if it is original to the bike.

Red Bands were used until early 1970s when Bendix manufacturing was moved to Mexico; the Mexico brake was similar inside but hub had knurlled bands instead of a Red Band. LOOK at your brake arm; it should say: RB2. That was the brake for your bike, used from about 1965 to about 1972...
