FOR SALE:   Schwinn Twinn posted by: Nick on 5/19/2007 at 7:55:23 AM
We have what appears to be a 69' or 70' green schwinn twinn tandem in prime shape (no rust or chips in paint).

Can anyone give me a ballpark on the value?

Finally got around to taking a photo of my recently aquired Raleigh 20; see attached photo. Since the photo was taken, I replaced the rear tire and tube because the rubber was starting to flake off. Also bought an older style seat bag similar to the ones found on the Raleigh Sports. My collection of old Raleighs is almost complete. I'm still searching for a Raleigh Lenton Clubman bike. If you've got one or know of one for sale, drop me a line. Thx again, Thom.

Anyone,
I am trying to restore my grandfathers Sears Free Spirit Tri Wheel three speed. I need to get a couple new back rims, but can’t find any information anywhere about the bike or where to get rims. Can anyone provide me with some info on the bike as far as year and where I might be able to get some back rims? I would greatly appreciate it.

If you must have the same size, it should be molded on the tire sidewalls. Any good bike shop should be able to help you find rims in that size and could build you wheels with them. If you're going to replace both of them, you might want to go to a similar but easier-to-find size.

Hi --In case it helps, I have a free spirit bicycle from SEARS, and I'm told it is a rebadge of a W. German bike.

Good Luck!
