1969 Sears Screamer Mag & 1954 Schwinn Collegiate

[SimpleMan]

Nice original survivors.....picked these up 12 miles from home. Haven't been real active looking for bikes lately but the bug is sinking back in. These came from the same family.
The Screamer has no rust.....it is coated with some sort of oil and of course the dirt that was attracted to it. I'm super excited about getting it cleaned up. Looks like the only non-original part is the back tire.....it is a Sears Allstate though. I own a few muscle bikes and this thing is definitely the coolest.

Collegiate appears 100% original right down to the tires.

I remember the night I pushed my brand-spankin-new Screamer 2 home from the local Sears...46 years ago. <sigh>

A seller nearby me has an Allstate 20" cheater slick listed for sale. He won't ship it...but I might be agreeable to acting as middleman, if the compensation was right.

I would be interested to see if we can make that happen. Thanks!

That Screamer is AWESOME! Congratulations on that bike! The paint and chainguard look pretty great on it!

You picked a nice time to get the bug again!
