Refreshed Typhoon

[economessed]

Here is my son's Schwinn Typhoon after a mechanical refresh!
It started out as a $30 rummage sale score:

We removed the front fender. The rear fender was heavily dented, so that came off, and we whacked on it with a hammer and dolly to smooth it out again and give it the proper "rat backslap." Then we stripped it down, went through the whole bike, greased everything and put a new seat on. The maiden voyage didn't go so well, as a tire exploded, so a new set of skins was put on. Finishing touches include a light cleaning of the rims, a wax job, skull valve caps, new grips, a bottle cage for those long trips, and an eyeball bell. Done!

We have the lust for rust!

I cut one of those up to make a tandem out of it. I have the original seat (I see you had to replace the one on yours with a new one) that would match your bikes patina pretty good, it is in nice shape, but not too nice. Let me know and I can send a pic or two.

that is a great find, here in Michigan it is very difficult to get a schwinn for that price

That is very cheap for a 24 inch typhoon very hard to find 26 inch ones are pretty common g/l Tony
