hey there everyone, i was picking up the car from the mechanic out in the boondocks and i noticed this old bike, i saw the schwinn headbadge on it and asked how much he wanted for it, he said 10 bucks, i figured what did i have to lose...other than 10 bucks
i doubt the fork is a schwinn fork it looks more like a mountain bike fork, and the wheels are crud,there is rust but nothing that doesnt look slavageable. However there are parts that are giving me trouble, I can only get one pedal off the other feels pretty stuck, any suggestions as to how i can rip that pedal out of there and still salvage the crank?
seat post feels pretty stiff too, i dont know if you guys have any suggestions there...the fork is also giving me some trouble to take off i just need some grips tho for that.
here is also something that i'm wondering about, the year of the bike...the serial is on the bottom left dropout and it reads Yxxxxx Its a Y i've looked at it for awhile... bunch-o-bikes doesn't list Y in their archive. http://www.bunchobikes.com/serialnumber4.htm
i'm giving the frame to my roommate i just got the bike for the crank and sprocket, the seat post clamp, and other little knick knacks for other projects, oddly enough these small parts that i need are the ones that are giving me the most trouble
