Check your PM's, I have daughters that want a vintage ride.

Nice haul. That red deluxe sure looks pretty!

Re: 24" Schwinn tandem Cool bike, I never knew that Schwinn made a 24" tandem, this has to be a pretty rare bike.

NIce bike, love them early 'rays... you don't see many of the real early bikes. I have a few of the early bikes: a '64 lime deluxe, a '65 lime delux in orig paint, but neither are this nice. I also have a '65 super delux that's been restored, but I prefer orig paint bikes. I have a blue '66 3...

NIce Orange! it cleaned up well, and for only $30??? nice.

is that a disc brake rear, or is it just missing the caliper? I found a '73 sunset Orange Krage on craigs a few years back, stole it for just $200. It looked beat, but i tore it down to a bare frame, used rubbing compound then waxed the frame, cleaned all the chrome then reassembled and wow, a...

Skippers, Typhoons, Tornado's -all are middle weights. General wisdom is that this type double bar is a Typhoon, but i have seen a beautiful orig paint Skipper with this frame.

Thats a '62 Typhoon frame (one year only), not to be confused with the Tornado which was the 'other' double straight bar from that era. The 'straight bars' on the Typhoon extend all the way to the rear dropouts (like this one) as opposed to the Tornado which had seperate 'straight bars' from...

Your Hornet is hornless. Let me know if you need something to fill the hole. I can have you honkin at your neighbors in no time! Rich

Re: Fresh find...Sort of Way cool! Whatever you do, don't restore it. New grease, true the wheels and thats it... If you decide you don't have the space, I might be able to find some room at my place. :wink:

The true 'Klunkers' are a pretty specific breed of bikes, and the guys into these rides hold that definition pretty tightly. You want an old DX, or panther style straight bar frame, preferrably pre-war ie very late 30's to early 40's. Most guys want that old well worn stock paint on them...

how much for the steel rim on the left, in the last picture? Looks like an old worksman rim. Is it 26"
