| I'm looking for a two tone leatherette mattress saddle for my wife's Schwinn ballooner. This is a 26 inch wheel traditional Schwinn, but features an unusually tiny seat tube I.D. of 0.8". The clamp diameter is no more than 0.5". The original saddle has blown up completely and the new ones are too depressing to look at.The bike is red and the original saddle was blue and white leatherette. Is anyone making new replicas? Any old ones out there? Condition isn't too important if all the parts are there. thanks, Bob |
| I have an old two-tone (blue/white) leatherette saddle if you want it, but it's not Schwinn issue. |
| have 2 leatherette mattress saddles, one blue and white for $9 and one red and white like new for $19 |
| Lemon, orange, streamliner, & one more, ...$8.00 for the set...emil me for a pic.....jerry.. .. |
| I've got a Raleigh ladies bike I found in the trash, roadside, about 10 years ago. Kept it in my mom's nice, dry barn ever since, but now it's time to give it some attention and ride it. I know very little about this bike or bikes in general other than I like to ride them--I'm an artist and a farmer, not a mechanic. So, I'd like to find a Raleigh-fixer-upper person to help me get this pretty lady back on her tyres again and, yes, I have the money to pay for the services. I do need, however, for the services to be located in southern New England (CT, MA, southern VT or NH). All I can tell you about the old girl is that she is blue (seems to be original paint, but what do I know), a ladies bike just my size, and as far as I can tell has all her original stuff but the air pump. I've even got her leather seat with a very nice low-relief "Brooks" metal plate on the back. I have no idea about the age of the bike; have found the following numbers/letters punched into the top of the seat tube: 96319, then below that the letters "NR" and below those the letter "A". I'm sure that means something to somebody, but I'm clueless. Anyway, I'd like to hear of any person or shop, in my general area, that could be helpful in bringing this bike to a good working condition. I'm not looking for a showpiece, here, just good old-fashioned functionality. Thanks! |
| These bikes are alot of fun to work on. I sometimes think I'm in the minority here on these boards but I agree with your "old fashion functionality" idea. That's generally what I do with them when I get them. The first thing I would do is get new tires and tubes. Generally speaking these bikes were so well built you don't usually need much more than that. Oil and adjust the hub(you can tell the date of the bike by the rear hub with in a year, you should find the last two digits of the year on there) oil or replace the chain. Some WD40, grease, oil and cleaning usually just takes an afternoon to get them running. I too am a creative person and I'll be honest with you it's not that difficult to fix these up(barring any major problems) and they give you a great deal of satisfaction when you breathe life into an old machine like this and get your hands dirty(and alot cheaper too). I've rebuilt some real basket cases and it's alot of fun. Good luck and if you have any questions or want some help drop me a line. geo |

| I have a 1970's era Paramount Track Bike in excellent condition for sale, all Campy, Brooks, red, 23", extra gears, etc. I am not going to use it and need the space, does anyone have an idea what it is worth? |
| If you're in the Chicago area, the bike is not worth anything and should be driven to my house. Otherwise, a nice track bike like that should sell for over $250, maybe more. |
| If your still looking to sell this Paramount, I think its worth something. Email me or call in DC 202-362-9226. |

| The fork has no adapter, the brake mount is cast into the fork. If you have already painted, you may be SOL. It should be no problem trading for the right fork. |
