Thanks, sorry to be so ignorant but would the fit my rims that originally had the 24X2.125's? fred

Where can I find 24 X2.125 tires that will fit Schwinn "S" style rims? I'm looking for a pair, possibly 2, plain black tires.

Is there a wider tire that will fit my rims that currently have 26X 1 3/8 tires/ Probably been asked before....

Will a 700c- say 700X 28-32 tire fit onto a 27ich rim?

Hello Steve, I have nothing but respect for the way you run the site, and how you've shared your beliefs with grace. That's one of the first things that attracted me to this site. I cannot imagine the time and effort it requires.May you continue in His blessings. fred

Been there before! It was a local pickup only, in a remote area of NY, and the bidding ended on Thanksgiving day- if any of that makes it easier to swallow. :( Fred

Thanks for all the replies and encouragement! I've carefully scrubbed the bottom bracket but no serial number. I'll keep you all posted when I start to revive it. Dreaming of cruising even now, open to suggestions! Thanks again Fred

Sure is! It'll take a while- I'll be learning patience.!

I found this Colson Flyer on EBAY several days ago. It was 120 miles away and had a starting bid of $25.00. No one else bid. It's in remarkable shape- nothing is seized-even the seat is intact. The fellow selling it found in a barn he was cleaning out. It had been through two floods. He said...

I recently bought a Hercules single speed light weight with a New Departure Model D coaster brake, probably early/mid 60's? I need to replace the headset. It's slightly smaller in diameter than than the regular cruiser types-21.1x32.5x27. Where can I find one?

Black Beauty- Western Flyer Find I found this nice Western Flyer a couple of days ago. I'd been looking for a set 24 inch wheels for a while and found this nice little gem: Like many girls bikes it is in really nice shape.It rides great and is too nice to part out. It looks like it was blue...

Last night I picked up a nice 24 inch Western Flyer Balloon tire bike for the tires and rims. Turns out the bike was much too nice to part out, and it fits my 5"1" wife perfectly. The serial number is A41925. Anyone know what year it might be. She's happy and so am I. Sorry no pictures yet.

Go for it. We recently picked one up for $50 and wheel it out from time to time to ride canal trails and into town for ice cream. Our grown kids and spouses hop on and ride around the yard as well. It does take up a lot of room though!

Greetings from rural upstate New York, where there are more dairy cows than people. I've enjoyed this site for a while now and have learned a lot. I got my very first bike at age 50- a gift from my wife and its been a great ride ever since! We currently have a 6-7 "pairs" that we cruise on from...

I bought one new in 2003, great entry level road bike. :D enjoy it!
