1960 Schwinn Speedster 24"

[el_espanto]

Got this 24" Schwinn Speedster, mostly all original
paid $185 wich here in Cali is a good deal, but actually sold my Dyno Glide Deluxe 26" for $190
so i kinda traded it. any extra info is welcome

are those stems with the bolt on top, like the one mine has, original schwinn?

 

[deorman]

I don't think so. I would expect it to be the same as the one on your Hornet. After that, they have the forward facing bolt, I'm not sure exactly when they changed.

They used different parts on the smaller bikes sometimes, it could be og. Around 62-3, they started usind stamped Wald stems on lower end bikes like Hollywoods and occasionally Typhoons. -Adam

Those rims look in great shape.

hey thanks, yeah they actually are, too bad their S7s
oh well, maybe if i find at least a rear S2 24", and a decent price, that would be sweetness

yeah thanks it actually is, the fenders are the older style with scallops and pinstripes
and i think it actually was the og blue seat but has faded to look greenish.

what thats just ludacris Hooch, it is unheard of here in cali, people always sell 24" schwinns for rediculously high prices, I guess its the whole lowrider thing here in Cali, we love our stuff low to the ground

 

[Devilmaysay]

hooch is right and the price here in iowa goes down as the temperature drops too

AND THEY STILL SAY "NO LOW BALLERS", LOL

 

[outskirtscustoms]

Man why are Schwinns worth money everywhere but here? I got a 24" 10 speed now (think it's a varsity) and normally I'm lucky to get $25 for them.

i think that speedster would ride great with a nanner and some apes

-A SWEET BLUE FLAKE BANANA ONE , HUH?

 

[el_espanto]

funny how just a few part swaps make such a difference

as I got it:

now:

my other "24 rat:

put Apes, a headlight, and changed the pedals, been to lazy to shine her up but bet it clean up nice
just like ccr said, a nanner seat would make it ride real nice
