The guy I bought the girls Iver Johnson from called me yesterday and said he had a few more newer cheap bikes,

The Schwinn Typhoon is nice and clean, original tires and did not even realize till I got it home it has a 2 speed kickback

This did not interest me at first sight, but then I noticed the 18" Wheels and Cream Tires, 3 Speed Coaster Brake, and thought, What a nice set-up for an early Elgin Frame, This will be stripped shortly.

And the cream of the crop, a 16" banana seat muscle bike, It is a rare one for me as I have had 3 boys, this will get a make over for my youngest niece. I had to take it to keep this new contact supplying me with Fresh Finds

The '62 Typhoon is a great bike, not as cool as the Iver Johnson scores, but that bike was my gateway drug and still one of my favorite bikes in my fleet. They only came in Flamboyant Red and Black. F.Red bikes usually bleach out to a sickly magenta color by now, but that one looks good. A clean up and keeper for sure. Great riding bike and really good looking, much improved with a different bar choice.
 
Great scores! That second road style bike is pretty wild... those wheels were one killer score for sure! Those are going to be perfect on the Elgin, I can't wait to see it!
 
That 62 Typhoon is getting fairly hard to find, that is a one year, one model frame. Nice score on the others too. Is that a key hole on the crank on that elgin and did you get the key too?
