So Gangster!! Love the black wheels!!

Me too! Lit states plated wheels on all models. First I've seen with painted rims and I love it!

BTW, saddle is not original, tho similar to what should be on it. Unfortunately the bike came with a later one, so this will do for now.

Anyone got the correct Schwinn badge? Someone musta swiped it and screwed this crappy one in...

I left the original trussrod bracket at work, so I had to raid the Vault.

Here's the correct badge for your rare twin bar Typhoon.

Super cool Typhoon by the way.

You begged me to sell you mine, I said “No Mike, you need to find your own”.

You’re welcome for that tough love. See how things work out?

Do you know where I can find a chrome guard? Pretty happy mine came equipped with those rare Gothic fenders everyone fusses about. How bout a locking fork?

Yeah the peaked gothics are a nice touch. Great bike, bring it up for the SF rides this year.

If the lit says chrome then I would strip those wheels and send them out to the plater

Thats the funkiest looking Schwinn I ever saw.
I thought Schwinn only made good looking bikes.
It must of been some one off batch that were made for the Special Olympics or something.
I guess that would explain that headbadge.
