| I just purchased a Sears 24' muscle bike. Everything is there but the fromt fender and the shifter nob. It rides goods. I would like to know what it is worth. Its pretty rusted. So I would like some tips giving it back some of its luster without much expense. P.S. it has the dual rear brakes. I won't say how much I paid for it. But a friend of mine at work called me a thief. |

| Is there anything necessarily collectible about a '78 Goldenrod Lil Chik. Someone told me that this particular color was rare because no one wanted really wanted to buy a bike for their cute little daughter that had an ugly dirt-brown banana seat with equally ugly yellow flowers on it. Any info? |
| The S-2 rear wheel, S-7 front wheel, fenders and the chainguard all fit regular Sting-Rays, so it is valuable as a "parts mine". |

| The very first bike I ever had is a stingray lil tiger. I recently dug it out of a junk pile where it was placed after being run over 10+ years ago. Any information on this bike would be helpful. |
| Run over? I am glad you were not on the bike when this happened. |
| Ok, I started swapping parts from my Fair Lady to a regular Stingray frame last night. I ran into some problems. First off, the fork on the Fair Lady is longer than the stingray. I should have realized just by looking. The other problem I had was the front sprocket. The fair lady had a "mag" looking crank, but it didn't say Schwinn or mag on it. It was too big to put on the stingray frame, it kept hitting the chainstays. I didn't expect this one. Just some things I didn't know. |
| Could someone please give me any available information regarding the Flame GTO bicycycle.Who produced this?...During what time were these bikes available and what type of value is attached to these bikes. I'm not sure if it's considered a muscle bike. I remember my neighbor having a yellow version with black stripes on the fenders, while I had a metal flaked red version with chrome fenders. |
| I asked if a pal needed this one wheel and the next thing I know, I have six 20 inch three speed wheels. Some Schwinn, some Raleigh. $15.00 each plus shipping. E mail me with what you need, as I may have it squirrled away. |
| This is for the older style Sturmey-Archer A.W. Model Three- Speed. Correctly adjusted, Sturmey-Archer gears will give you years of trouble- free cycling. If however they are not adjusted correctly they will not function properly and slipping will occur and this will result in permanent damage, unless corrected promptly. Gear Adjustment First place the gear control in no.2 position. Then screw the cable connector until THE END OF THE INDICATOR ROD IS EXACTLY LEVEL WITH THE EXTREME END OF THE AXLE. This can be seen through 'window' in the right hand nut, -Now tighten locknut. All Gears are now set. GEAR CHANGING In use, Sturmey-Archer variable gears have the easiest, cleanest and most convienent means of making a change of gear. The change may be made whilist the cycle is in motion or while stationary. To change gear when the bicycle is moving, continue to pedal but EASE the pressure on the pedals and move the gear lever smartly. Should it be necessary to change gear whilst stationary EASE PEDALS BACKWARDS- the internal gears will rotate and engage easily. Lubrication (This referrs to older model hubs) as today's Sturmey-Archer hubs are a diffrent breed. They require no lubrication from the user because they are factory set with grease) A NEW HUB MUST BE OILED BEFORE USE through the lubricator on the hub shell. Afterwards add one or two drops of oil at least every month. (Sewing machine oil found in fabric shops, not too much, as you do not want this getting onto wheel rims and tires) |
| How about the '69 Chopper 3+2 adjustment? I just bought a 3+2 & when both shifters are pulled all the way back(1st gear) the hub slips sometimes(like it is "popping out" of gear).Is there any wasy to correct this problem? What is the correct adjustment fo te left side? I checked & the 3-speed side(chain side) was adjusted very close to what you stated. |
| Please tell me exactly what hub you have. Is this the S-5 , S-5- 1 or something else? |
| Mine is marked S5 And the hub is also stamped 69 |
| ChristopherRobin, thanks for all of the excellent information you contribute to the vintage bicycle community! |
