1958 Schwinn "Convoy"

[Bike from the Dead]

last night i left my bikes outside because it wouldn't rain, but there were strong winds which blew over the convoy, breaking the brackets for the mirror and the cb. only the brackets were broken luckily but it's still annoying. i'll fix them soon AND the cruddy kickstand that made the bike fall over.

Yeah, I never trust a kickstand to hold up a bike when it's windy out, especially not where I live in Oklahoma.

whats a good way to fix one?

good news! i fixed the cb mic AND sold some bikes i didn't ride to get a boys huffy muscle bike and a murray eliminator.

almost fixed the mirror, added a headbadge and chain guard nearly done!

I hate it when something like this happens. One of mine fell a few weeks ago and the grip shifter broke.

Look for a serial number on either one of the dropouts, under the bottom bracket or the headset, and Google "schwinn decoder." Not only will you find the year, you'll find the month too!

interesting note about the rear tire on this bike:
the tire is actually a wheelchair tire!
