Nice finds! The Schwinn is cool, and I would have thought it was older, I've never seen that model. The Tourist is also cool, I love the three-speed cruisers...

just air'd up the tires on the tourist, that bike rides like a dream !!! original 28" Raleigh Roadster tires too !!! but the grips are Western Flyer muscle bike grips ... and I wish it had the air pump too ...

RingRingRing .... Hello.... Hey Dingo, your bike is ready :mrgreen:

the Raleigh Sports has a few set backs tho... the straps on the tool bag are torn in half and the tires...... well, i thought the gumwalls just had cancer or sumthin but it turns out they werent glued on right lol

the tornado is decent though, tires fair but the bike is missing the # sign on the bars and the seat isnt original, still gotta like it though
