    1947? Schwinn DX Excelsior

    Thanks for the replies. The guy got a cash offer for his and backed out at the last minute. Might be posting in the FOR SALE forum or I might just keep it. Guess I can always just go out and buy a new mountain bike, but I can't just pick up a Schwinn like that at the LBS. Thanks again.

    1947? Schwinn DX Excelsior

    [/URL][/IMG] Hey guys. I might be trading my DX for a new mountain bike. It's a 2013 Specialized Rockhopper 29er (stock). But I was hoping some of you could help me out in determining if this is a good deal for me or not. I feel like my bike should be worth more, but there is probably a...

    New Departure Model D Hub help...

    Finally got the wheel taken apart and relaced my freshly cleaned hub again. Worked like a charm. Thanks for the help guys. I guess you can't underestimate a good cleaning. It's like night and day. Took the hub apart and let every bit soak in Simple Green for two days (which pretty much did...

    Need help with ID on this one...

    Think I've got it pegged as a 1939-1942 Murray Mercury. Might be wishful thinking but it looks right to me. Pic below shows front fender setup. Thanks for all the help.

    Need help with ID on this one...

    Thanks for all the help guys. I used your imput and was able to find a couple on the net that match perfectly. I'm still doing some research, but it actually looks like it might be an early (39-40ish) Murray Mercury. It's missing the piece on the front, but everything else looks right...ie...

    Need help with ID on this one...

    Hey guys...any help or imput on this one would be greatly appreciated. I just picked it up on CL for my wife for $40. No head badge and has a poor repaint that covered up anything else. I haven't had a chance to really look it over, so I'm not even sure where to find the serial number. It is...

    What's up from Jacksonville, Florida

    Thanks John. That's actually another reason I wanted that picture. I was going to let you know I finally signed up, but you beat me to it. I've since stolen the reflector from the old seat and added it to the new one and replaced the kickstand with a drop kickstand. Don't think the kickstand...

    That's funny. I was browsing the site the other day, and saw those pics from your 4th of July ride. I remember thinking it was cool to see pics on here from the beach. Hope to see you around...I'll keep an eye out for your bike. BY THE WAY...I just wanted to give credit where credit is due...

    What's up from Jacksonville, Florida

    What's up fellow addicts. My name is Art. I'm a long time reader, but just finally decided to register. Not really sure why I took so long. I've been into bikes for years, but it was mostly just customizing my mountain bike and riding a rusted, no personality beach cruiser around my local...
