My Grandpa had a bike, Firestone probably dates late 1960's to early 1970's. Everthing original(tires, paint, body)Interested to know if any collectors can give a possible estimate of value. We were selling in a yard sale and was told by an unknown person that we were selling it at too cheap a price--worth much more.
If anyone could email me and let me know anything about it..It would be wonderful. Thank You

More info to add to bike: It is a Warrior by Firestone;
Tires are 26 x 1.75 Triband super extreme middleweight;
BMA/certified; stock # 09-01-028-9.
Hope this helps if anyone is interested in helping me. Thanks

I have just pulled from a clean storage barn an absolutely clean as a pin red Spitfire with Schwinn black leather saddle and original front basket. Original tires (cracked) still are holding air. Handle bar grips (Schwinn)perfectas are the peddles. Only two (2) scratches on rear fender with no dents. This bike is an exceptional find. I would like to sell to serious collector rather than listing on ebay. If you are interested, please contact me.





MISC:   Jaubert Road Bike Info Needed! posted by: Cathy on 6/6/2001 at 12:39:07 PM
Hi,

I'm restoring my father's old (circa 1960s) French Jaubert road
bike, and would enjoy receiving info on the manufacturer.
The bike was purchased from White Front in 1969; it is
equipped with an eclectic mix of components, including
vintage Campy hardware, a quirky steel crankset, and five
cogs in the rear. It also has braze-ons for a top-tube-
mounted pump and down-tube shifters. Thanks in advance for
any inputs.

I work as a reference librarian and a patron wanted info on an old bike he found. Only name on it was "locomotive"
Can any one help me out? He figured it was from the period of the 1920's through the 1940's. Any help or referral would be appreciated.


   RE:WANTED:   Info on a bike named posted by sam on 6/7/2001 at 2:12:19 PM

I have a 1974 Schwinn Continental I'm restoring; any idea where to fine decals (dealers can't get them no matter what Schwinn website says).


   RE:WANTED:   Schwinn Continental decals posted by Eric Amlie on 6/7/2001 at 8:46:23 AM
Your best bet is probably swap meets and Ebay. I occasionally see them but not very often.

Cheng Shin is a common brand, you may be able to find them at your local Walmart. If not, they will have a similar tire of the same quality.
