Here is the only bike i have found this year, pickin's are getting tough. any help on what it might be? it does have the old style chain, what years did they...
What is an old bike/bicycle worth these days. I have a single speed Schwynn that is in very good condition and looking to restore if it is worth it. Was made...
Moneywise, the model and condition makes a very big difference. Other than that it's hard to put a value on the enjoyment of fixing it up and riding it. For...

It looks very schwinn like to me, although the fork isn’t what I’d expect. There’s a couple places with decent serial # decoding for Schwinns to tell the...
I've shot a ton of pictures of bikes over the years and know how the camera can trick the eye, but that fork looks wonky. I'd check it carefully. For the first...
thanks Steve, I was thinking that too. And i thought the chain was pre 50's Guess i will try to get a Ser# off it, the stem too says Schwinn. What suprised...
Restore it and bring it back it back to its own majesty. Then if you feel like it, sell it for what you paid for to repair it. Let someone enjoy riding the...
Hi all, I've just about finished all local trades, I've got my final sales list of items in the following catagories as below. The list contains over 1000...
Do you want to restore it yourself, or have it restored by someone else? By your post I'd assume the latter. I know of a guy here in Austin, Texas who does...
Not sure the bike is even a schwinn. could be a JC Higgins, Monarch, etc. You might post in the schwinnbike collector's forum for expert opinions on older...
The bike looks very much like a Murray with that skip tooth chain setup. My brother had a Murray, I had a less expensive JC Higgins. Research Murray . . ... ....

If you are purchasing a new handbuilt rear wheel, what tools do you need to install the rear wheel? There will be a 7 cog casette in the rear. Thanks K....
It depends on how much assembly and adjustment is being done on the new wheel by the shop. If the wheel is truly handbuilt the truing and tensioning will be...
