| I REALLY NEED A CHOPPER FORK!!!!!!!!!!!!! AS SOON AS POSSIBLE IT DOESNT HAVE TO BE PAINTED OR CHROMED I CAN DO THAT MYSELF IF I WANT TO THANKS |
| what kind of bike do tou have?i have a nice pair of schwinn springer forks.chopper forks/frame/bars. |
| My bike, after all these years, has developed a squeak and a grinding sound when I pedal. Is this something that I can ignore, or do you think it is a serious problem in the pedal mechanisms(ball bearings?)? If so, is this an expensive repair, and is it worth doing for a bike this old? It has given me many years of pleasurable riding. |
| Prob just grime or poss bearing is dry...I recomend taking the crank apart and cleaning the inside and soaking the bearings in solvent then just wipe em off and re-lube them with a bearing grease..prob can fix for under 5$ sounds like its time for this anyways...reg mainteneance can prevent this and keep those cranks functioning to their best !!!!!! Good luck |

| Just wondering where I could track down info on the Schwinn Stingray Junior. There seems to be lots of info out there a/b the Stingrays, but the Junior model isn't well-discussed. This was my first bike and has been in storage for years. I'm thinking of restoring it but need some accurate restore info. Thanks. |

| I am restoring a vintage bike I was told it was a Goodyear but it looks as if it could be a pre-war Indian. The only markings are on the bottom of the crank: MUS 65534. Does anyone know what the MUS means? Once I have figured out what to call her I will be needing a badge, tank etc to restore. I have a pic I can send. It has 2 bars on top not parallel and a straight front bar. Thanks |
| I have what I believe to be a Men's 1939 Elgin. It is in pretty good riding shape with orginal parts including a skip tooth chain, rear ctr stand, truss rods,pedals, wheels, & headbadge. I am looking for a rear rack, rear taillight/reflector ( the rear fender has 2 holes in it for either light or reflector, I don't know what the bike came with) and a chainguard. If anyone has any of the items listed please e-mail me. I enjoy this bike a lot and would like to restore it someday. Thanks! |
