You are holding the wheel and tire up off the floor when you are turning the cog? When turning it forward, it should engage and turn the wheel.

If you happen to be near Regina, SK, I can give you the contact info for someone who could probably help you.

Very nice, I have one in black. I agree it is probably 66-67, I think they went to double top tubes after that. Good that you have the shifter, they are almost impossible to find.

Re: pre war ballooner Very nice bike, but I also believe it is post war. It has the same tank design with the bars as my 1953 Hawthorne.

Nice bikes, but I don't think the Schwinn Racer was introduced until 1955 or 56.

The are lots of jobs here in the middle of the "boom", but few places to live. Lots of work in construction and retail besides the oil field work. If you have an rv or camper, you might find a place to park it until some of the apartments get finished. Do your homework before heading out here...

Quite the haul. Doesn't look like there are going to be any bikes left to find by the time I get moved to MN.

I think I have heard of Rapido.

You can report them to etsy and have them investigated for fraud. And I hope you guys all think etsy is for girls and stay away, I bought a nos Diamond skiptooth chain and a nice prewar tank there.

Is that the one with the square end on the axle? If so, I think you have to put a wrench on that end and unscrew the axle from the hub.

I'm 62, same as Road Master and Bama Bill. My Dad was a bike mechanic and I always had an interest in bikes, and then a friend of mine turned me on to collecting classic bikes about 20 years ago. I'm hoping to retire soon and then hopefully my bike hobby will provide some additional income. A...

I think the frame is a Shelby Airflow. If you Google it and look at the images you will see some incredible bikes.

Do you have the little alignment washers in place? I think they were used on all Sturmey hubs. They fit in the axle slot and have serrations to grip the dropouts.

I think I have the correct bulb, I'll put it in with the saddle.

I have the correct seat. It is in good shape with the exception that some of the seat cover needs to be glued back to the pan. I can post a photo if you are interested.

Great finds. Interesting that I once had an identical Hiawatha Meteor and I bought it in Sidney, Montana. I guess it isn't that surprising since Gambles Hardware stores were located all over the west/midwest.

Re: Unknown Schwinn (?) Bike from CL Looks like a late 50's Schwinn with the wrong chain ring.

I think if you have an old monitor you should be able to plug it into your laptop and then determine if it is the video card or something else.

If you are looking for new tires, I think Kenda is the only company making them. Try Google Kenda S7 and see what pops up. Maybe Niagara cycle carries them, they have an on-line catalog. Good luck.

1 3/4 not 1.75. They normally say "For Schwinn S7" on the sidewall.
