small score

[Illiterite Wino]

recently got got back in touch with an old friend, who runs a scrapyard.. anywho.. i think you know where this is going.. he sells me bikes, by the pound.. it's heaven..

first round went out with the car just to check it out and grabbed these

65 Typhoon

65 Schwinn, not sure of the model

and this looks like a Schwinn, and has the serials in the correct place, but not really sure.. still sorta new to this and the chainguard doesn't look familiar

can't wait until my truck gets fixed lol

Nice!

The last one is a Schwinn. The sprocket is from a Murray built bike, and the fenders, seat and the rims are incorrect.

I believe the sprocket is from a HP Snyder (Rollfast or Hawthorne). Similiar to the Murray except the inner most holes are triangles on the HPS vs oval holes on the Murray. Nice finds by the way.

I'm pretty sure they are oval, the pic does make them look like triangles a little

figured out the blue one is a Hornet

now if i could just figure out the 24".. did they make a smaller Typhoon? it looks exactly the same, just smaller

They made 20", 24" and 26" Typhoon.

Try looking at the guard from an angle or in the sunlight and see if you can see an outline of the screen

Sweet finds, and sweeter setup!

To add to the confusion...

I don't think it's a Murray chainring either. I can't really tell what the smallest holes are, but I *think* the Murray sprockets aren't flat (there's a beveled edge which offsets the teeth from the chainring itself; the teeth and center of the chainring aren't on the same plane, if that makes sense). I feel like it's the same ring used on Luxury Liners.

does this help?

plus the back side has a cap, like a Hawthorne

 

[B607]

Schwinn used caps like that for a short time in the 50's, although that bike looks more like a 60's or 70's. Gary
