| I have a violet woman's 1966 Schwinn Varsity with downtube shifters and a Schwinn Sprint derailer. It is a tourist model with upright handlebars. I know that women's bikes are not as valuable as mens, but are the cranks, shifters and derailers worth anything to restorers? |
| Heck man if the bike is in good shape dont part it out a 66 is pretty old I dont care if its a girls bike its still worth something sell it Im sure someone will want it if you dont.good luck Doug! |
| I have to agree with Doug that you probably shouldn't part the bike out. The Stingray guys are always looking for those Sprint rear derailleurs if they are in very good condition. I've seen them go pretty high on Ebay. I personally am looking for a Sprint front derailleur in good condition. |
| 24 by 1.75 tires or tubes wanted email me new or used for a lowrider Tony Traxxas157@hotmail.com |
| Seeking, for a project - a 23-in English 3-speed frameset designed for use with 26-in wheels. A Rudge Sports would be ideal, as would the equivalent Dawes, or you can surprise me. I would really prefer something OTHER than a Raleigh for this. Cosmetic condition is not a big deal here, but straight and functional is ... and cheap is always preferred, as this will NOT be a classy restoration. Whadya got? Thanks! |
| I am looking for any 50's/60's toe clips and mounting hardware. Any brand name is ok. Also any toe clip straps. Any single pieces you have that you don't want including any mounting hardware. Any new or old rusty pieces OK. Pelissier, Christophe, Campy to name a few. Any old logo pieces that you have. Also any rat trap pedals in any shape that are sitting around that you don't need. Singles are OK. |

| wanted tank for 1939 wards hawthorne also have two girls bikes for sale both have tanks and racks one hawthorne and one jc higgens $100 each |
| I am looking for a set to put on an old Savoy brand horn tank cruiser. I got a set off of a Raliegh but the difference is this: On the raliegh the inside of the crank tube is threaded, and on my bike there are no threads. The original crank shaft had threads on it and the races screwed on to it. I am 2/3 of the way done with a restoration but want to be sure I can track down the right set of cranks before I go any further. Thanks, Ted Ellison |
| Ted,I think I have a used one I'll send you if you want it.(pay shipping only)do you need the shaft and cranks or just the shaft---sam |

| I need the following. Any leads greatly appreciated. Chain guard & Decals for a Women's 1957 Columbia Torpedo - color is lt blue (like a sky or robins egg blue). Many Thanks, |
| Yesterday I bought an older folding bike for a couple of dollars from a bike store that was closing down. They found it in a upstairs warehouse and did not know to much about it. Im hoping someone can tell me the manufacturer. I'm just curious. The bike is a bit old and made in Germany. It is a 3 speed and my favourite aspect of the bike are the fenders. They end with a kind of thick Vee. Also the chain guard is thick chrome. It was well made and oh it only folds in the middle not like the new fancy ones that fold numerous times. Okay if any one can decipher my hodge podge of information and tell me anything about this cute bike please don't hold back. Peace Linda |
| oh and I have the serial number???? 12113 |
| i am seeking tires for an old peugeot folding 3-speed commuter bike. they are apparently an odd size, french 'n all. 57-490 or 550A i've been told would work. no luck getting a bike shop to order. anybody know? |

| Has anyone ever heard of a bicycle by the name of Marco? It was made in Idaho Falls, Idaho. I recently bought one, but had never head of the name before nor has anyone else that I have talked to so far. Thanks |
| Hi. I've a 72 Super Sport for sale. It's color is Opaque Blue. It is a woman's frame. Purchased from original owner.( a man )Told me the bike has maybe 50 miles on it, and it shows. A few years back he had the bars converted to an upright style( done professionally in a bike shop )New IRC's were put on at the same time. He did this thinking he would ride the bike. He never did. When purchased new he also had the correct Schwinn approved Super Sport gen/light kit installed. The LAST STRAW was when he produced the owners manual filled out on date of purchase 3/10/72. I realize this is a girls bike, but.............. she is sweet. Extremely nice. A couple nicks on the tube from a water bottle carrier will touch up nicely.The chain stay, usually nicked on most bikes, has not a mark on it. The man also gace me the correct bars( bar tape and levers are pretty easy to replace with proper pieces )If interested, please email. Thank you, Kevin |
