Picked up this crusty Monark for 5$. Has a Bendix 2spd manual. Bought it because of the home made stick shift someone put on long ago. Plan on finishing the wheel rebuild soon. View attachment 334989 View attachment 334988

A '41 Schwinn BA-97. I paid $25 plus a sheet of Phantom decals for it. H.P. Snyder frame and Monark frame I found behind an abandoned rural house. Gary

BFG - bought out of my neigbor's yard for 25 bucks

don't let that stem bolt fool you...it's just sitting there, the rest is broken-off in the fork tube...I haven't gotten the gumption to start on this knuckle-buster yet...

Picked up this 87 Open Road Turbo a few weeks ago at a local swap because it had a bendix model K from wheel. When I say locked up, this thing is next to locked up in the dictionary. Every last bolt frozen, stem frozen, front fork tweaked, front wouldnt turn, chain was rock solid, back wheel frozen. Really bad. Im not into bmx bikes at all so I kept the schwinn front wheel and sold the rest to a friend who was PUMPED to have it.
Consequently, the only thing that wasnt frozen was the quality Schwinn cycle truck front wheel.
