June of 60 seem about right?

 

[heyslugger]

Out of all my schwinns, come and gone, I have yet to run across one with the painted grips! I was very happy to see that then WITH THE WHITE FACE SPEEDO?! So good!

 

[heyslugger]

Does this one look like a 2spd kickback?

Does this one look like a 2spd kickback?

yup, bendix with 3 painted stripes = kickback

 

[detroiter60]

Yep,Thats a Red Band 2 speed.I'd take it apart for a good cleaning and regrease before riding much.That old Bendix grease could be very hard and waxy and you could damage the index spring and/or the clutch retarders...Awesome find btw,I've never seen those grips still wearing their paint either.Shes a real beauty I'd love to have it.

 

[tanksalot]

Very nice find ...

 

[Brisk Eddie]

Very nice find! I'm gonna have to check my local CL more often.

'60 was the first year for the kickback...'69 or '70 the last. Gary

...what I wanna see is more pics of the van

Oh, that old thing? I think it is in nearly EVERY one of my photos of bikes...seriously at least 75% of them!

Here it is a couple years and more than a few miles back!

 

[SCHWINNRAY69]

Wow that's clean!

 

[Nightrider]

Make sure you disassemble and reassemble the kickback correctly. They only come apart and go back a certain way. The index spring could be damaged and they're about 30 bucks, if you can find one. Check out johnsvintagebikes.com, there is a link on there for redband kickbacks.

understand the problem with availability of cool bikes. Central Oregon is not a very old area for development and Madras is were I seem to find the oldest bikes
