It's looking like it's going to be about 10x easier to just use what I have on this build then get a little more creative on my next using all modern parts.

OK. Here's another question for you then. Will the 3spd hub work in a 24" rim?

Thank You guys so much. I know I'm a little touched in the head but that had me going. Bicycle808 I think I like that one for the front but I really want as wide of a tire as I can shoe horn in there on the rear. Do you or anyone else have any suggestions? I think I want a black side wall but a...

Am I completely missing something here? I have some 26x2.10 MTB tires I was trying to mount on my original Schwinn 26" wheels just to make it a roller and these tires are nowhere even close to going on these wheels. Way too small. The original tires to the wheels are 26x13/8. Tires and tubes are...

I went to a local not for profit/charity https://www.facebook.com/deltabikeproject/ today to see if they might have a few parts I might need and instead found a major score. I grew up in the Kansas City area and this bike was sold new from Turner's Cycle in Shawnee Mission.I swear the place is...

I have the old forks, seat and seat post, crank set and chain ring. I'd like to reuse some of the stuff but I won't consider it a total loss if I can't.

I re-found a place locally that has a ton of old bikes for sale that I can use as a source for donor parts. Hopefully I can find all the stuff I'm looking for in one spot.

Thanks fellas!

I take it that all of those parts basically dropped in? Forgive my ignorance I haven't tinkered with an old bike like this since I was a kid.

I've been trolling around here for a while. I'm from the Mobile, Al. area and work as a railroad mechanic. I just picked up my first project bike so we shall see where it goes from here. Anyways you guys build some really cool stuff and I'm excited to get started on my little project. This is...

Schwinn parts specifically bottom bracket bearings and races and also steering tube bearings and races. I picked an old Schwinn Tornado from my neighbor today and it's missing some parts.

I picked this up from my neighbor today. He believes it is a '59 but isn't 100% on the year. I think I will be leaning on you guys a bit for some guidance on finding parts like bearing and races.
