Scored this beautiful 65 Twinn

[Shelbygt]

Thanks dantfitz1. This beauty followed me home. Rocking an August 65 build date. Looks to have been purchased and remained in Muscatine, Iowa judging by the city bike permit.

Has Schwinn Westwind tires which are in amazingly good shape. IDK if they’re original to the bike. I would’ve thought she’d come with gangsta, wide-whites. That’s what’s going on her and I’ll stash the originals for preservation.

The kickstand is loose as a goose. Any adjustment or way to tighten it?

Boy oh boy that is beautiful. The WW's will really look sharp, killer bike nice score.

Thanks brother!

I’ll be darned. It did come with black walls. They might be the originals. I’m still gonna rock full-on gangsta, wide-whites. It’s all about the bling.

Disassemble the kickstand and see if you can stretch the spring back out, or replace.

Trying to figure out how. Special tool to compress spring?

The white walls look killer. I know they were not original but a real classy upgrade and I love how they look with the violet. Really nice job.
