Frosty Schwim Delights!

[Hooch]

I braved the -21 degree windchill today to pick these craigslist finds
1969 26" Schwinn Typhoon and a 1969 Schwinn 24" Hollywood original owner bikes with a mint 1969 Catalog and Middleweight Owners Manual
these bikes will clean up beautifully

Whoa, that is the real deal, sweet scores.

 

[bmxerpete]

Nice bikes, and those pamphlets are too cool. But what's all that white stuff all over the ground?










:mrgreen:

 

[Tosa2112]

Nice finds!! Captain Kangaroo...awesome. Dude, I feel your weather pain.

 

[brentville]

Was there some law in the late 60's early 70's that all Schwinn bicycles had to be retired to barns and basements in Iowa? Is that how come you are able to find so many of these sweet deals between the rows of corn!?

I may make a road trip.
