That Huffman frame will work great as a BMX. If you wait a few days you could enter the build in the annual build off.

I would suggest taking the Racer, use 26" rims with 1.75 knobby tires, (or 1.90 might fit like this Continental). Then use a rear hub single speed, or 2 speed that has a coaster brake (like the yellow Varsity), or a drum brake if you can afford one. No cables and clean looking. It would look...

I understand their reasoning. Here's my Walmart Electra copy from China:

That's a lot different than what I have compiled. But yours is probably right because it's taken from actual numbers, no extrapolation. And mine is from some years ago, I can't remember where I found the list.

That's a great bike. My list shows an "F" serial number as 1941. E53500-H99999.

I decided to add a front brake, just in case I lost the chain. Then a short ride in the early morning heat. I followed it up with a longer stationary ride on the Lanai.

At my brother's place before I moved overseas. No one messed with my CWC!

From a history page, the tire size is "Special Schwinn Hurricane 26" x 1 1/2" tandem tire on Schwinn Tubular S-4 special tandem rims." That was only one year that showed the tire size. To be sure, get all the information on the old tires. The rims are probably original but it's hard to say for...

I did some research on Schwinn tandems after I picked up a 63 Bicycle built for two (only made two years, 63-64, then in 65 were named Schwinn Twins). The Town and Country was sold from 1946 through 1962. The serial numbers seem to not specify a year, just the sequence number. All the years are...

One more trike:

I was thinking up more ideas and don't recall if we can build with more than 2 wheels. Trikes ok?

Early 70's AMF. Araya rims are the best part, the originals probably didn't make it past the mid 70's.

My first bike was a 24" Evans, with a big rear rack like that. I would pedal while 2 more could fit on the rack. The rear axle snapped in 1966 and that was it.

While getting a bike (Second Helping) ready to go, I swiped the wheels from an earlier build (Splat Rat). So I went through my pile of parts and upgraded to a SRAM 2 speed and a 36 tooth chainwheel. I went for a ride, it's got a good gear ratio for offroad, 36/19 and second gear is just a...

I received word that the bike needs a lot, no brakes and worn out. It has been over a year and a half since it became a family work bike. I'll post a pic when it gets here. The boy has been using it to sell ice cream after school everyday, trying to save up for college. His dad also rides it...

K is 1961.

Monark, and it looks pretty good. Maybe it is one of these:

If you don't enter, you'll never know.

I like the ones with a large forward cargo area. I could sit in there, enjoy all the consumables it would carry, then take a nap in it. At the beach with an umbrella. :113:
