Hi i have this bike i found , i believe its an mid 60s Schwinn typhoon from what i can tell , but i cant be sure as im no bike expert and all of the markings are wore off. I was at a property helping a friend get some parts for his camper and on the way out i saw this thing laying there . Man it was in awful shape just laying there rusting away but something wouldn’t let me leave it lay there . The property owners were like sure get that piece of junk out of here . It didn’t have a front wheel / fender and the back fender was mangled . I believe the original was a 2 or 3soeed hub shift (shown in pics ) So i brought this heap back to my garage and did a soft wire brush to remove a lot of rust , It’s still no daisy but you should have seen it then . But amazingly once i got everything freed up it all functions . The bike is rideable currently . The mangled back fender I pounded all the dents out and used a section to put
on the front .I had an old bike rack laying around from one of my mountain bikes so i fabbed it to fit the bike . The bike is pitted up and has bumps bruises and scars everywhere but i didn’t want to mess with paint because i wasn’t sure if that affects value. So it’s a complete bike but not all original , as you can see i put a front tire on it from one of my mountain bikes , as well as the rack . So what all is pictured will be in the bike as well has the rear hub shift rim and the single speed that’s on it . I’m asking $300 for the bike and if i’m way off base let me know , like i said im far from an expert and im not 100 sure what i got . All of the 64 typhoons i saw have similar markings , So thats the full disclosure guys . Any info you could give me on it , i always like to learn and would appreciate it ..
