    Re-newed from Nor Cal

    Hi, I’ve been geeking out here for a long while but don’t know if I have ever done a proper intro. Long time bike nerd (like my whole life) and currently host to mostly singlespeeds (it’s flat here, I like them). I just came into owning a long time bucket list bike for me, a 2005 Kona...

    It's all good, I bought one. I'm that person that always misses out on the free samples at Costco too...

    Bendix blue band 2 speed hub

    I checked the "for sale" daily for a couple weeks on this and other forums--in addition to posting want ads and asking all the collectors and bike geeks I know. I think there are deals to be found (I never find them) but I also think someone selling a blue band can get $150 easy for it. A couple...

    Bendix blue band 2 speed hub

    Where were all you guys with blue band hubs a week ago when I was posting on every list on the internet that I wanted a blue band hub?? I guess nobody checks the wanted section. Who has s 20" S2 for me to lace my eBay purchased blue band hub into. And FYI I paid $160 shipped for mine, unserviced.

    Still for sale: $225 local sale and the only thing I need in part trade is a good S2 20" rim, 28 holes. (Plus cash)

    Can I use original headset with this fork?

    Thank you! I was about to order it tonight!

    Can I use original headset with this fork?

    Now, if I get a straight bladed big bmx frame like this and it is designed for a caliper brake, what length brake would be proper. Would a 1080 be too long? I'm talking a fork for 26" wheels. Thanks again.

    Can I use original headset with this fork?

    I recently picked up an early 60's cantilever Schwinn frame, likely a Typhoon or a Tiger but possibly an early Heavy Duti. It has no fork. We are thinking about doing a Klunker build. Can I use this fork (or similar)...

    First RRB build: Fat tires on Schwinn Racer

    My 7 year old son and I picked up two Schwinn projects this week, a mid 50's middleweight and early 60's Racer. Neither has wheels; all else is there. We want to build a fat tire Racer. I read on here I can fit a 2.125 tire on a lightweight. The racer was formerly a 26 wheel bike. Can anyone...

    FS: 1957 Schwinn Corvette-local sale

    This is a nice original black three speed Corvette. As far as I can tell the only non-original items are the seat and headlight. The headlight is a generator powered light but there is no generator on the bike. The tires are Schwinn tires. Bike shifts and rides well with fresh Phil's green...
