Been there. Hopefully it gets lubed enough that it can be saved. I have had to punch the pins out with a drift and socket then soak the chain. Just leave the pin in the outer link so you can drive it back through easier with channel locks.Got the rear hub rebuilt and spokes tightened up.

I can't put it on back on the bike yet because I am still trying to save the chain. I am unable to get the masterlink to come apart so I am soaking the chain as it hangs from the bike. I was hoping that if I got the master link off I might be able to bring it back to life but I am close to giving up and just cutting and replacing.View attachment 24353
They photograph better than they look in person, just like nearly every bike for sale on Craigslist.Looking really rusty! Crash bars maybe too shiny tho...
There is more where that came from!Very nice so far. I've been on RRB since 2011, and reading about bikes for longer( @xddorox led me here with his how-to blog) and I've never seen crash bars before. Very cool piece of hardware!
On the early Schwinn springers the pivot point underneath the steer tube is offset behind the center of the tube. I just took the entire fork apart and reassembled with the steer tube turned around so the pivot point is now in front of the steer tube instead of behind. The result is that the front end gets lowered and stretched. Not the oldest trick in the book but guys have been doing this for a VERY LOOOOOOONNNNNGGGGGG time.how did you rack that fork? as in how did you lower
