Roland Team Sport tandem. 6 speed. 26" wheels.

Digging through some old parts bins today, I found a pair of my old racing cranks. Cracked. Best reason to clean your own bikes on a regular basis is to find cracks before they send you to the emergency room. Cranks retired 30 years ago. I know several people who broke cranks off and it was...

sprocket & rims today. I took another look at the sprocket assembly. It is 2 sprockets that were joined with faked rivets. They punched the inner sprocket through holes in the outer, then formed the pushed through metal to look like a small bolt head. Even cheaper than using actual rivets...

A bit of a disaster. Pink paint? Nope, runny clear with pink sparkles flying all over the place. Some landing on my car 20 feet away. It does work better on the piece of brick that I had on the outdoor work table as a paper weight. The very rough surface keeps it from running. Lots of...

aluminum rims primed and drying. crank options. I'll stick with the stock black crank. I have other bikes that would like the 175 bmx crank. paint touched up on the frame. front hub repacked. hs & bb cleaned up.

5.33 Inches head tube length on both that I have.

Generally more spokes is stronger than thicker spokes. But all the coaster brake hubs i've had with more than 36 spokes are low grade hubs. I would not recommend them for adults. Stainless steel spokes are far stronger. DT straight 2.0mm stainless are the best. I used them on my bicycle...

Todays progress. bike dismantled. freewheel, rear hub brake levers, brakes, derailleurs, sprockets into the parts bin. The dual sprocket was stamped from a single piece of steel. No reducing that to 1 sprocket. cranks are 165 so I'll be looking for longer cranks and a suitable sprocket. wheels...

The first year for the Typhoon was 1962 and that year it had two small straight bars under the top tube. The 1963 model year was the first for the cantilever frame Typhoon. Looks like yours was red before the black paint was added. It could be a different model of Schwinn such as the Fleet...

Mongoose still sells pretty good bikes. But not at walmart where the vast majority of Mongoose bmx bikes are sold. Those boat anchors are made of low grade steel throughout and will rust up or wear out pretty quickly. Often refered to as bicycle shaped objects. They look like bmx bikes (ditto...

This kinda looks like it: The frame closely resembles the 1999 Super Goose Jr. similar seat stay to rear dropout shape. chrome fork, big down tube. 1 piece crank shell. https://www.bmx-catalogue.com/mongoose/mid-school/1999/supergoose-jr.html

Close up the artist's signature. is this an original of 150 lithoprints? Supposedly the first 150 lithos were hand signed by the artist with pencil so each should look a little different. An original is available for $3500 unframed. Reprints would all have the same signature. Detail...

I have one I can measure. It might take a day or so to get too it. PS search for the "Ultimate Spaceliner guide" on the www.

Graciela Rodo Boulanger (b 1935 Bolivia) Tour de France 1977. Lithograph original batch of 150 prints are $3500 each in professional galleries. I'm sure this is a poster reprint but I guess I should unframe it to check. It's got extra wood in the frame? garage sale find. rabbit on a bike...

1996 Trek 520 Touring. This was a basket case. Total rebuild. 36h rims, dyno front hub, sturdy front rack from England. Mtb drive train. 3x8 with some really low gears. I rode this across the USA in 2016, 40 years after BikeCentennial. The 520 was Trek's flagship touring bike for decades...

70 year old wheel. Chrome Schwinn S7 rim with Sturmey Archer AW Alloy hub. Indicator rod is broken off. Will get cleaned and polished. Rim is dent free but a bit rusty. Spoke nipples are a full 1" long. Missing about 10 spokes, rest are rusting through. The ALLOY hubs are sought after by...

The 1962 wasn't a cantilever frame. it had twin straight bars. One year only design for the Typhoon. There were other models that used the same frame. Schwinn changed from painted rims to chrome rims starting in 1965. Your bike is a 1966. They sold the Typhoon and the Typhoon Deluxe with...

Cannondale Catalyst 3 hydraulic discs, 27.5. Another great weather day.

Went for a ride today, a 3 hour ride. Once home I was sitting on the bench and saw this bike go by, ridden by a black teen with another on a bmx bike. What? I jumped up to check and my bike was gone from beside the garage. I grabbed my phone and hopped on todays ride (cannondale) and the...
