    Custom 29" Prewar Schwinn Motorbike

    We tried BMX style drop outs first, but it just didn't cut it! So we made OG style rear drop outs.

    Custom 29" Prewar Schwinn Motorbike

    All custom made from scratch! Frame, rack, fenders, forks, truss rods, headlight, all made 23-24% larger than a stock 26" bike. The rims are laced to New Departure hubs, with Hookworm tires. Paint done by me, except for the tank decal. It was hand painted 23.5% larger than a factory decal by Tom...

    What have you been riding lately?

    Itโ€™s called a sliding rail messenger- came on 1940 up bikes. This one is restored. Probably run you about $350+ for one in this condition ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜Ž

    WANTED stingray rear fender, last part needed!

    I found one, but itโ€™s not the right one, itโ€™s for a single speed.

    What are YOU building? Wrong answers only.

    Iโ€™m finally getting around to refurbishing my Grandmaโ€™s old bike - itโ€™s a civil war model- very rare! Itโ€™s an Iver Schwuffman motorkrate โ€œMusclePlaneโ€ model.

    What have you been riding lately?

    Iโ€™ve had a blast on this restored 7Os Typhoon! Had it powder coated, then added all super nice chrome nuts bolts clamps, etc. Then laced up a set of polished aluminum Holeshot rims with a schwinn front hub and a rebuilt yellow band two-speed kickback hub. Rides amazing!!

    Help ID my grandfathers childhood bike (old picture)

    Nexus 3 speed brake noise

    So has anyone come up with a definitive answer to the squealing? My wifeโ€™s bike started squealing on our last ride and wouldnโ€™t stop!!! I took it apart and it had plenty of grease/ lube in it, no scoring or bluing from heat! Put some grease only on the bearings and reassembled, still squealing I...

    Project schwinn dx frame or partial bike complete etc

    I have a prewar DX Frame, repainted red with white comets, amateur job, but not horrible. Thatโ€™s how I got it, Postwar parts fit as Iโ€™m pretty sure the headtube is the same. Itโ€™s the bright red one.
