Two new bikes for free. Thanks Craigslist!

First up is a 1962 Schwinn Hollywood. It's seen better days, but my wife liked it, so she came home with us.

Then we got a 20" Murray(I'm pretty sure, due to the dropouts and chainring). The headstock has a sticker that says Riviera on it. It has a 5 speed 20x1 3/8 Schwinn rim with a weather-checked Schwinn slick on the back, but no derailer, so its running as a single speed. Anyone have a coaster-braked 20" rim they wanna trade? It's a pretty cool bike otherwise... Except for the ridiculously short crank arms... I'll change those out though...

Re: Twon new bikes for free. Thanks Craigslist!

are you looking for a special coaster for it or just any coaster wheel? I have some...

 

[BrigmasterA]

Nope just a coaster wheel with a chrome rim... I want it to kinda match the front rim. That's my only requirement...

great scores! just make sure you flip the front fender on your girls bike the right way before she takes it out :wink:

Very nice! And the price makes 'em even better. 8)

That bike is a three speed. you need a 3 speed rear wheel and a shimano 3 speed shifter. The front and rear brake are a dead give-a-away, BTW Those are very cool bikes!

A 3 speed would be cool in there... It may have originally had one. But the brakes aren't original I don't think... They look like someone made them fit... I could be wrong... It's happened before...
