| Thanks for the replies. Gary can you send me your email address, and I will send you more pictures. I have a bunch of them. The gentleman that ownes the bike wants me to find out how much it is worth and sell it for him, and his sister has one just like it, except it is a womans. Any help would really be appreciated. I am not a expert at bicycles by no means. I sure could use some good honest help on this one. Jeffry by: 70.246.128.227 |
| Jeff, be sure you know the true value of the bike before selling it. You may get some people making lo-ball offers and they'll just turn around and sell it for a lot more. Bottom line with any of these old bikes - make sure you know what they are worth! Some are junkers and some are high-dollar gems, even in poor condition. by: 205.179.119.99 |
| Thanks Nate. I ordered a few books and I think that my wife and I will take the bike to some people that know alot more about bikes than we do. This man trusts me to sell it for him, so I really want to find out everything I can about it. Jeffry by: 70.246.159.225 |

| How do you measure to determine if a 1954 Schwinn DX Men's bicyle frame is a 26" or 24"? I'd like to buy a frame on e-bay to restore, but the seller doesn't list if it is a 26" or not.I need to ask the right question or give them a measurement. Thanks for the reply back. by: 68.69.192.233 |
| Balloon tire bike sizes referred to the tire size, 24 inch or 26 inch diameter. Later road bikes began the actual frame measurements you are familiar with. by: 66.113.47.14 |
| Can anyone look at this bike and tell me what year it is? I know it is before 1960 because it has a 1960 bicycle permit on it. It is a Rollfast, ok condition, and expected rustis visible. Also it is a girls bike, looks like an adult bike. |
| I have a bunch of old spokes I'm sorting, on the face of the spokes most have a 4 dashes say at the 2, 4, 8, and 10 o'clock postions, others have a small "s", some have what appears to be intersecting "8"'s. I'm also trying to match the nipples. I think the gauge size for them are .105 and .120. They came from an old whizzer guy; any help? by: 24.14.0.162 |
