Look Ma, No Hands!
Wife told me there was a local bike auction in town so we headed over there this morning. Saw these two and just had to buy them. Probably over paid but I like them for a project. I am very conscerned I am in over my head with the Bendix Rear Hub. I took the wheel off to clean and messed with it a little an now it is very loose. Anyone able to share some guidence on these?

Anyway here are the bikes. Did I do ok for the $135?

Schwinn Speedster

The Schwinn Speedster with the two speed kickback is worth what you paid for both bikes. Keep it original, it looks like both bikes will clean up nice.:)
 
You did very well.

This is a slippery slope though.

Thanks for the heads up. Any experience with the Bendix Hub? What am I in for? I am finding manuals but advice is always better in my mind.
 
That is hilarious!!!

That is frikkin hilarious.... do you go out alone at night and talk softly to them?

I think the virus is contagious because I just bought a Whizzer and am now continually surfing/looking for other deals out there....sorta like two wheeled crack!!

I'm envious of your storage..

Nice finds! They look to be 1959-62 era, the 2nd digit of the serial # on the left rear dropout will be the year-9 being 59, 0 is 1960, etc. "Your back yard starts to look like this...." Don't forget the basement!!!
