| Wanted: Flip Down Kick Stand for a 1936 Silver King, 24", girls bike. I could also use an excellent set of wheel rims for the same (mine were bad so I blasted and painted them). I'm also in need of the rear reflector. I have never seen a luggage rack for the girls bike, if you have one please contact me. Thanks, please e-mail me directly as I don't check the forum every day. Thanks!!! by: 65.121.141.239 |

Also picked up a Schwinn serial #A020721 What year is it? Thank's for any help. by: 68.117.105.7 |
| Raleigh Superbe - English Roadsters Forum. If it has a Brooks leather saddle on it, and if you don't mind selling the saddle, I'm interested - cudak888@aol.com Serial number for the Schwinn - try looking it up: http://oldroads.com/sh_sn.asp -Kurt by: 205.188.117.138 |
| I'm not much on Raleigh, but the serial # dates your Schwinn to January 1960. by: 199.179.239.124 |
| I just picked up a 1956-7(s/n S3XXXX) 24in. Corvette and was wondering if this model/year had an aluminum book rack on the front or truss rods? I have the neck attachment only. by: 12.34.182.134 |
| According to various 'Vettes I've seen on various websites and the stem bracket on my '63, they came with front carrier racks, but whether they were aluminum or steel is beyond me because Schwinn may have used both; I've got a steel one on my '64 Starlet III. by: 199.179.239.187 |
