Yes. That's what I read, "windswept green"... really interesting color. And the picture I saw of a Flying Star, that bike was really deluxe. Like a ladies Phantom. My friend found his as only Frame & fork with truss rods. Too bad, it probably had was a killer bike. Still, nice find.

That was my first thought..."somebody worked for Schwinn, this is custom" I know, nobody wants a post with no pictures. It's not my bike or I'd be on it. I will try to post pics tomorrow. I just thought there might be a chance someone would know what I was talking about.

A friend of mine recently found a Schwinn that is a color I have never seen before. It's a womens, he looked it up and believes it's a 1956 Flying Star. The color is like pale light green with pale lavender accents. I did see a pic of one online that is the same color combo. It looks...

I got out of bmx in about 1986. so I always consider anything from that period and before to be old school but really only because that's when I stopped keeping up.

Thanks for the reference link, Rat Rod. When does "old school" period end? I'd call these old school in my book. Though I can't date them exactly. When I was a kid there was one guy in town who had a pair on his Hutch. They were considered arguably cooler than Bullseye hubs. In the same...

Hi, Managed to finally get this one rolling thanks in no small part to some nice folks here on RRB who helped me get the parts I needed. This little bike has been more trouble than any 26" inch I've ever built. Mostly because I don't have a ton of 20" parts but also because it was built from...

Well, the one I saw was also in a basement in Eau Claire WI. But that was last fall. Could have possibly went somewhere in the meantime. Same model/color, same condition. Had the fender bomb and rack. Could be!

Hey OhDeeBee, Did you find that in WI? I swear that's the same bike I saw in the basement of a house last year. The house was being cleared out but the lady would not sell it to me at that time.

Hello. This sites been a daily stop for me for a couple years. I especially like to scope the "fresh finds"... Thought it was time I register. Living in WI. I'm interesting in building and collecting old bikes of all sorts. I have a bunch.
