Humm and ditto what deorman said. however I'm expecting that Schwinn to be on the bottom bracket, it could be newer than appears and hence would be on the drop out mount for rear wheel, opposite side of sprocket/chain ring. Perhaps a 54 frame, as i'm not sure on that too but Schwinn may have...

And that's when the fun begins. Both will have serial numbers, and somebody says 1st is a early 40's Huffman built Hawthorne, I don't know where it's at but spect under the crank bracket. The next is a Schwinn can be sure because of the welded kick stand bracket, that should date it post war...

Yup, you picked up a pile of silver dollars in that junk. 1st bike pretty collectible although bent fork yet might be fixable, and the 2nd bike also collectible fork is usually easily fixed, a 40's to early 50's Schwinn. Pretty good deal considering, back in the 1960's I wouldn't have given ya...

right ok cool, I have not ever even touched or seen in person the Taiwan models, not that they're rare or anything, but glad to hear they're light. Think though, if me runs across one and owner insists I take it, I'm liking that paint job ya did on the lugs too. [grin]

Yeah that's most likely the Japan made Cro-moly frame, practically no different than the Paramount, the same basic specs but not made in usa. Nor center cantilever brakes and a few other things.. But the cro-moly frame is why it's so light. Basically same as the voyager too cept a few other...

Yeah No prob guys, unfortunately though those photos were not my normal, to many that were blurry. so, If me does the trick and scope the photo shoot again (not very likely though cause, I don't hunt this stuff, lol) they should be better. was in a big rush that day because got delayed...

keep eyes on wally world's national web site and check clearance items or price reductions, and then ship it to your local store.. when they clear stuff out, it can get really cheap!. last fall at web site clearance I bought 15 pairs of the only shoes I can wear, literally, for 4 and 5 bucks...

Yeah, but it's wally's photo, it's not showing the white painted tips on the fenders in their photo. Here's a thead I posted 23 of photos of it inside of Wally's . didn't save the photos nor put them in an online hosting so, just go there fer a looks see...

I'm liking the ergonomic flow sort of but, expect larger tubing in this, ya gotta do somtin with all that aluminum to increase strength, so, why not flex it some, color selection, multiple speed, aluminum frame but not that fork. That wide butt fork looks like it'll break at the neck easy. I...

wally world's stocking em up fer xmas, local has 4 beasts @ 199 currently. Didn't spend much time looking at em but for the moment I did, besides the cool big rims and tires, looked like the crappest bike I've seen in me miserable life, ever assembled. Seriously!

Whelp all you can do now is break it and learn. And, not much wrong wit your simple English, except, and I see this inside of Craig's list all the time, mostly inside of cars that were crashed, re-painted as salvage or rebuilt title.. "Conditions" "This conditions" "Excellent conditions" etc...

Personally, when I was a kid, walked 100 miles to school, bare foot, in the snow and LIKED it!. I used to rebuild Schwinn's in my teens, fixed mowers and go-cart/mini bikes, and I had a crescent wrench, plyers, (rarely used cause too much damage from them) a few screw drivers, Bench Vise, a...

"loose and tight the bolts in a proper way" Highly advise, don't stop there, remove every nut, bolt and screw, open the guts on crank, fork and hubs where possible. carefully inspect and reassemble the hole dam thing with the right torque, grease or oil where needed. Balance the rims, spokes...

read this topic months ago, forgot to add to it.. First my local wally world had a fat tire return 100 bucks clearance.. I rode it around inside store. Then a month later a new one, I played with it too.. they were asking 200 bucks fer the brand new. . Albiet that's the only 2 I've seen...

It's not pre-war and it gets technically tough nailing the exact date on them frames.. 1st note is it's near the 1st generation past 1941 "pre-war" The second cross bar is brazed, and for the rear dropout down tub bending I'll also say the top bar is not brazed whereas pre-war is brazed and...

Huh?, yeah there's only two. in the other photo I'd thought I saw a bit of a 10 speed chromed fork sticking out. and add, 3 forks always were a tough nut to crack. Could pull it off on a stingray, but had to keep your weight forward otherwise ya'd flip over and crack da head open. What? we was...

Yeah in-between 55 and like 7, if the letter is repeated, look at the number sets.. the numbers can be a little confusing, but you'll nail it down with the right set of numbers, at site that list them while the tool, does not filter em well enough. As for that fork, In the 60's we'd chop off...

This looks like Bendix's patent for them. Published nov. 1944,, patented nov 1945. and it is the earliest application to it. Bendix refers to it into 1966. https://www.google.com/patents/US2410785?dq=ininventor:"Elliott Hood Edwin"&hl=en&sa=X&ei=UsI6VIifFKPnsAT9j4LIBQ&ved=0CCsQ6wEwAjgK Their...

Perhaps newer arm,, is there any dating data on the Morrow designed slotted skip tooth sprocket Bendix 36-13, without "Elmira, NY" or "Made in USA.. That's just plain "Bendix 36-13" on it?
