60's Typhoon

[Ape Stanger]

I just picked up my first Schwinn yesterday. It's this 1960? Typhoon.

Nice Find! Like my Typhoon a lot. Like the truss bars and seat bar, nice features. Congrats!

Thanks,
Funny you responded. I just emailed you guys about the compatibility of your parts for it. I love the retro rays you guys build and it was your site that got my blood going. It may be a couple of months before I pull the trigger, but what can you tell me about a possible three speed hub conversion? I also want to set up some kind of suicide shifter mabe mounted to the seat tube. I'll be placing my order for ape hangers tonight!

Thanks for checking out my ride.

Thanks,

I found out it's a '64. I turned the seat post around to give it a more laid back ride. I'm going to put on ape hangers with a 13" rise. Nothing too cartoony. It's in great shape. I'm stoked.
