| Hi, I just picked up a Trusport ballooner. Headbadge reads "TruSport" "Phila. Pa." Has a New Departure model D hub. Also a dogleg crank, sweetheart sprocket, inch pitch drivetrain, 26 x 2.125 tires. The chainguard has 19 penny sized holes stamped in it, along length. Has Torrington stem. I seem to have found another bike which defies finding on the 'net! Any info would be appreciated. Thanks. by: 208.101.147.184 |
| the dogleg&sweetheart made me think Schwinn built. check this out: http://nostalgic.net/arc/bicycles/1930's%20Schwinn%20tall%20frame.jpg Nostalgic.net/arc/bicycles/ is great to browse looking for features that match yours. Have you looked at the bolt heads or crank hardware for the telltale AS insignia? If you want, send me a picture. I'd enjoy it and try to help. Post pictures to the oldroads database too, and let us know when they're up. by: 209.7.150.163 |
| I got a trusport pre war bike. The one I have is a Colson. Maybe the bike you have is in name only, look at other makes untill something seems to match. Good luck. by: 69.224.218.166 |
| Hi, I just bought a '56 schwinn with 26x2.125 tires. I need new tire and was wondering if I can buy any 26x2.125 tires or if schwinn bikes have a different sizing. Thanks by: 24.119.255.148 |
| 2.125 is the same. S-2 is regular size. 1 3/4 is different. S-7 is different. Scott by: 71.108.82.200 |

| I have a new departure 10 cog (new style I think) rear hub. It does not have a model D on brake arm; just says new departure. I need a picure of the internal hub parts installed on the axle. This is a skiptooth model. it does not brake or move forward properly. I need help in finding out if I have all the right pieces plus the order they go on the hub. thanx don by: 64.12.117.7 |
| Go to www.nostalgic.net, Daves vintage Bikes, and there's a blowup of the new departure hub. by: 70.228.174.43 |
