Looking for a teens or 20’s, possibly early 30’s 28” wheel Schwinn built motobike, truss or double bar frame. Frameset preferred, wheels not necessary. Looking to do a 700c wheel conversion. I deeply regret selling this one a few years back, if anyone happens to recognize it, I’d love to buy it...

Howdy folks! Been a long time since I’ve attempted a build off, been a member here since the very first day of the forum... Anyway, I found this bike for sale early this year, drove over an hour to get it. Just started tinkering with it a couple days ago, then I see there is a muscle bike...

In need of nicer later Pixie Fenders, the non convertible 70s style frame. Restoring one for a friend and that’s the last parts I need. Thanks, Jon

By far my favorite style of bike I've ever built. Rides the best too. It's not "period" correct, but it's what I could come up with on a budget. Already planning another using a '39 DX. Before: After: '37 C model Schwinn blasted and clear coated Sunlite fork Dyno neck rescued from a...

Better late than never right? Got really excited for this build off and then forgot about it while I was taking a little break from the hobby. Anywho. '37ish Hawthorne Zep/fastback frame. Have a 3 speed tandem wheelset for it. Set of rim brakes salvaged off a dyno I pulled from a river. Cheapo...

I've been thinking about building a throw in the back of a truck, trunk, back seat whatever it be and not worry about it bike. It must be lightweight and cool. I don't know that there is a particular category for this style of bike, so I've created my own. A Bruiser, defined as a throw around...

Who still has their first bike(s)? Let's see um! First is a 16" BMX style my dad pulled out of the dumpster at his work. I wanted it painted gold so that's what he did for me. Been with me ever since. I don't even remember riding this one, but remember trying to as I got older. No idea as to...

Picked up 2 last night and another surprise this morning. 1938? Hawthorne roadster, soon to be Klunker 1939ish Elgin long tank curved seat post Dyno BMX find in the river on a ride this morning!

So I fell in love with the model C Schwinn's awhile back. Made it my mission to find one. After meeting another local collector, he showed me the 2 he had. After a year of thinking about them and other hobbies getting in the way, I decided it was time to make a move. A couple weeks back I bought...

Trying to see if anybody can pinpoint a year on this puppy. Guy I got it from said 1925-26. Any help would be greatly appreciated, this is my first Moto and it's got me really exited! Jon

Picked all this stuff up from an estate auction. This thing is confusing me... Packard head badge. Somebody tried their hand at frame building... April of '68 'Ray. I raised the seat up, turned the bars forward, filled the tires and off I went! Really cool 20 inch Rollfast Unknown...

My latest swap meet find. I walked past this thing probably 5 times at a distance because it had a huge plastic child's seat on the back. Before we left I thought is at least go see what it was. First thing I spotted was the chainguard, I knew I was going home with it. This one is...

Have lived here my whole life, but have never ridden through the city. Today was the perfect day for it so a buddy and I hit the trails! whole ride was only about 6 miles, but we ran into a couple unexpected surprises so we cut the ride short. On to the pictures! Part of the flood wall...

Picked up this women's prewar parts bike and have no idea what it is. Also picked up this DX frame Spitfire badged, best I could tell its a 53 as the serial number A2xxxx is on the dropout. Thanks, Jon

I got this bike last summer and have debated what to do with it until about 2 months ago when i came up with the perfect idea.. Before:

Hello, Yesterday when I was riding around on my Le tour, I spotted a bunch of bikes in someones front yard. As I got closer I could see that the sign said free!! I got excited and when I got there, there was a couple walmart huffy bmx, a next mtb missing brakes and a black diamond frame that...

Hello, This is my first dive into the skip-tooth era bikes so it should be pretty interesting. I had been looking for a straight bar Schwinn frame for awhile and came across a new local bike shop that only sells used bikes. He had a couple of ballooners but nothing like what I was looking for. I...

I have no clue what is going on. I decided to take my 1979 Schwinn Stingray apart because it needed a good cleaning. I got this bike as a gift about 6 years ago and have never been able to ride it because it did not shift right... Every bit of adjustment would not help so it just sat untill...

Hello everybody,' I have decided to start another build with my free Le Tour. When I got the bike all of the gear components were in really bad shape so I took everything off. I had planned to just run it like that, but I soon got bored with it so last week I decided to tear her down completely...

I got this Le Tour for free and am in the process of converting it to single speed since the derailer is really krusty. Sorry for the pix, i took them from my phone... Then I notice this: Has anybody else ever had a rim do this before? Thanks, Jon
