Too bad you need the whole wheel I could throw the hub and spokes in a small flat rate box.....lol.lumpy said:
I have one if you need it but shipping would probably suck.
It's summer, so people are out riding.
End of summer, students are heading back to college- a lot of them looking for a "campus bike".
Start listing them on Craigslist for $25-50 apiece and I'll bet a lot of them sell.
I mean, there's enough population where you live that there must be some good demand for working bikes. A good number of those I would not part out. That brown Collegiate looks sweet. If it was New Haven, CT I could sell 100 of those... the students at Yale and all the other area schools buy up bikes like that all the time.
You've actually got more Schwinns than me... that's impressive!
Presently I seem to have the following:
47 ladies DX, 64 Racer (the Rat Racer), 65 Collegiate, 66 Stingray Deluxe, 66 Stingray 3spd,67 Collegiate, 68 Racer 3spd, 68 Stingray Deluxe, 69 Breeze, 70 Apple Krate, 71 Grey Ghost, 71 Collegiate, 71 Continental, 71 Fastback, 72 Stingray, 72 Lil Chik (2), 72 Fairlady, 72 Stardust, 72 Breeze, 74 Suburban, 75 Bantam, 76 Stingray 5 spd, , 80 Suburban
And frames: 59 Speedster, 65 Slik chik, 66 Breeze, 67 Stingray, 69 Stardust, 69 Fairlady, 69 Collegiate, 72 Collegiate, 74 Breeze, 74 Stingray, 79 Lil Chik
There might be a few more... that's just the Schwinns. I'm lucky my wife understands.
