| I am looking for info on the whizzer 700 engine . When was it made, what frame was it used on,Where can I go for a dependable source of parts. I am hoping for a friend to help me , not a buyer to say"Hey ya want to sell it?" Thanks,Barry |
| Memory Lane Classics in Ohio I think. They have a lot of Whizzer parts and know a lot about them. |
| Thanks Dale, I found out it is a Whizzer Special with a Schwinn DX frame,and other neat rare characteristics. |
| Had whizzer motor for my bike when i was 14 set up by my uncle who had a bike store. had it thru high school in Pearl River N>Y> Was talking to grandson this week about it and decided to see if was still available somewhere and at 3 30 amcame across u guys. Any info would be great...I'm 69 years old this coming week. thanks |
| Welcome Saul, and happy birthday! Whizzer prices are outrageous these days. Average condition models go for around $3000. I'll bet that's a bit more than you Uncle spent on yours! There's a picture of a Whizzer in Menotomy's picture database. |
| The Whizzer has been revived. It may be seen at: http://www.whizzermotorbike.com/ It's almost as expensive as a mint condition original, though. $2,200. |
| I own a 54 Whizzer Special with a 7oo. I use it regularly around town though it is not titled. It has an echo pipe and a fishtail exhaust and the sound is intoxicating! I also own 2 H's (one schwinn panther, one monarch rocket) and I ride them also. It just seems that with the 700 engine, Whizzer really had a more 'refined' product. rick |
| I was wondering if anyone has experimented with unusual finishes for a custom. For example, for my next project, I would like to have a unique finish, and have thought about perhaps clear coating the frame over the bare metal to show the lugs, brazing material, etc. Another idea was to use unusual coverings on the frame tubes, like cotton bar tape, woodgrain paper, perhaps glued on fabric, newspaper, or other media covered in weatherproof varnish, etc. Any ideas? the frame tubes |
| Hey Dan: How 'bout shellac over cotton Tressostar bar wrap? Or some twine, jute, string, leather golf club wrap. Just kidding, I've been reading too many Rivendell Readers and I've been idly considering trying the bar wrap. Regards, Pete |
| At the hardware store tonite, I saw textured exterior paint. The texture of the paint is supposed to be raised and look like concrete, or terra cotta. |
| There's also that granite-finish spatter spray. It needs a good clearcoat for weatherproofing, but it looks really neat. Another possibility is the trick in which you float colored lacquers on the surface of a tank of water, then dip the frame in it. It looks pretty amazing. |
| HOW ABOUT A FAUX MARBLE PAINT JOB? YOU CAN BUY FAUX MARBLE PAINT KITS AT A ,HOME, RESTORATION SUPPLY STORE. |
| We've almost got our first cut at a file upload program completed. It'll enable you to post pictures to our picture database. We're hoping to have it up by this weekend. |

| I am just getting into the hobby and I was wondering how much work it was to make a basic lowrider and around how much it would cost i have a 26in bike. Any info. would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! |
| It depends on how crazy you want to go. Once you start cutting and welding, the price goes WAY up. If you just want to add a lowrider springer, low b-seat with exhaust braces and bent apehangers, figure about $60. |
| what is involved in the actual basic process do you deffinitly have to do frome mods? The bike i have is a 26in does that change anything? |
| To Joe: It makes a big diffrence Joe. The most important thing to remember is it's going to take alot more time. You arn't starting out with a blue print, so that's half the fun. When your done you'll have one most don't. Big gear dragging and gear ratio and finding the right gear is what has me going. Then I get to make my own chain length. Joy joy. |
| Well, you have a good bike. its gonna cost quite alot. Including the paint job |
