Are you still in the McKinney area hotvw? I live in McKinney and would love to see a regular ride organized?

Re: PROJECT 79' TEAM MONGOOSE (12-18 UPDATE) That color is beautiful! My fixed gear is close to the same color but is in need of refinishing. I'll check him out. That price seems very reasonable.

I must have one! Awesome!

Hey Glenn. I haven't done much to it yet. I'm limited by the funds in my bank account right now! The front rack is off but I'd like install truss rods in its place. I also flipped the handlebars and I'm really happy with the way that looks.

Flipped the handlebars

I have noticed in pictures that the headset bracket for the front rack on my Corvette looks identical to the bracket used with truss rods. Are they interchangeable? Does anyone have truss rods they want to sell?

Hey ratrod. I was looking around for posts about the B66 saddle and noticed something interesting on the rusty bike. The truss rod bracket on the headset looks very similar to the front rack bracket on my Corvette. Could I use it to install truss rods? Since my headset is stuck and I'd like to...

I happen to like it! But maybe I'm partial to NB to opening my eyes (and mouth) to the world of craft brewing. I will always be grateful.

Nice collection! Hope the Heavy Duti purchase works out. I would love to have one myself. What color is it?

Is that black middleweight in the original post yours? If so, well done because that's a beautiful bike!

That's a neat looking saddle. What other Schwinn's do you have outskirt?

The honey colored B67 is going on my Corvette as soon as I get the cash.

It appears that this saddle isn't correct. The one that appears in the ad is brown and mine is the monogrammed two-tone saddle. My research has shown that didn't come out until '59. Can anyone back this up? I'm actually not going to make this a period correct bike but I'm curious.

Thanks everyone! My next project will also be a cruiser for my mom. I'm trying to convert everyone I know into active cyclists!

Thanks for the tips everyone! I work all weekend so it will be a few days before I can really get started. All I have done so far is remove the stem bolt and spray some oil on top of the wedge. Oh, I also bent the bolt by hammering too hard, but luckily I was able to straighten it back out. I...

Does anyone have suggestions on how to remove a stuck threaded headset? The wedge won't break loose when I tap on it with a hammer. Is penetrating oil my best bet?

Thanks for sharing those great ads wildcat! Could you send me the link to those? I really like how the brown saddle looks on this bike. That's actually what I had in mind.

Welcome! I just bought a Schwinn from a gentleman not far from you. He has a Purdon address.

Nevermind. I can follow it quite well from your posts.
