| When everything is at the kerb somebody got evicted or passed away.
The box of bottles of booze some half full was interesting. What I have is a Schwinn exerciser that I'll use the cahin off of. The bottle of ammonia and the household oil was there too. All set for a chain de- gumping
I'll save the threaded track cog and the speedo and the silver cable and other do hickies. Boy, it was heavy to lift. Booze and exercise what a combo!
Some of the Schwinns have N.O.S. 20 inch rims that your prise off the solid rubber tire and use it with a regular tire. This has the heavy metal disc wheel. |

| Well, thursday turned out to be a great day. It started good cause it was the last day of my 8th grade year, and we got out at 10:45. After we got out i met my girlfriend downtown and we got pizza then went to the library. Well the library was closed for about 45 minutes so i decided we would take a walk down to a bikeshop a lot of my mom's friends had been tellin me sold vintage stuff. We walked there and went down some old wooden stairs into a basement and i opened up a door and was in HEAVEN!! rows of vintage tin!! first i looked to my right and hanging from the cieling was a completely original 5-speed campus green fastback. and then i look ed to my left and i saw them! my dream had come true!! all the rumors i had heard were true!! two bright orange never ridden never even been outside of the store completely(i mean EVERYTHING)original!! SWINGBIKES!!!! i asked and he said that he had seven then sold 5 but then 3 of the kids that bought them flipped over the bars and got concusions so he put them in the back for 22 years and recently pulled them out. i asked for a price...$350!!! you guys and gals here think this deal is good or too much? the owner of the shop probably has the original sales tags and boxes too... tell me more!! |

| Just picked up a CCM Mustang Marauder. Pretty dang rusty!! Looking for any parts anyone might have. Not much on the net about these bikes. I think it might be a 1969 model. It has a 69' Sturmey-Archer 3speed hub with a sport shift gear box on the frame. I need a new rear rim(20 x 2.125 w/ 28 spokes and a 16 x 1.75 complete front wheel) Also looking for a compatible sissy bar and fenders. Any suggestions. Re-chroming costs too much!!!!!

| Hey!
Yeah, we got a rusty one too! No idea on parts, but we scrubbed most of the rust off really easily with wire wool- and lots of it! Then got an electric polisher which also had some wool-like attachments and sorted it- it's lookin pretty good now!!!
Don't hear much about them either! No idea how much it's worth or anything?!
Cheers!

| I recently picked up a Goodyear/Columbia Hi-Way Patrol bike
at a rummage sale and I have been having a great time
cleaning it up. I have had no luck whatsoever finding
any resources about this bike. It is very similar looking
to a Stingray, except the front end and forks are set up
with a triple tree and straight chrome forks. It has a
leopard print banana seat which I assume is original. I am
not in need of any replacement parts or anything - I
would just like to know more about the bike. TIA for
any info. |
