r/schwinn

My neighbor is a super nice and older gentleman, while cleaning out his garage he gave me this bike. I know nothing of bicycles besides what google tells me. Overall it seems like it's in pretty good shape besides the chain being rusty and the tires flat (my bike pump doesn't fit the valve?)

Anyways, besides riding my son's mountain bike I'd like to give this a shot - I'm assuming it's worth taking to a shop to get a once over.

Trying to find out what year these were produced, anyone got any info?

It’s also for sale if anyone’s interested send me a message.

My only concern is the rims won't be original or that the seat is going to start ripping itself apart if I use it I've been wanting a super sport since I knew the name I've had multiple road bikes but this one just jumps out at you that yellow is amazing

Hi, my dad used to work at the Schwinn shop in Austin Texas back in the 60s or 70s. He had always kept three of his bikes indoors. Here is one of them. It may be very simple to ID but I’m not experienced so I wanted a bit of help.

Serial number ID appears to be 1977. My mom is looking to sell but I wanted to get a gauge on value or any additional insights from yall. He has two others that are early 70s but I’ll send pics of those on another post a bit later.

Thanks!

Was at a thrift store and saw this bad boy sitting there looking all glorious. I couldn’t resist, they were asking $25!!! I believe it’s a 1960’s Schwinn Speedster and it has the 2 speed in the back hub. Pretty cool, I’ve never had a bike with a 2 speed set up like this before. You just back pedal about a 1/4 turn and it downshifts or up shifts! Even has brand new tires, a spring cushion seat and a rear view mirror! I love it!

Facebook memories showed me my old bike from around 2010ish I believe. Built not stock. Pieced together from 4 different bikes off Craigslist bitd

Wanted to relive some 90s kid joy. Found this on Marketplace. Looked like just surface rust so I went for it. It cleaned up nice and it's fun to ride around my neighborhood.

Had to give it a little latin flare.

This happened a while ago. Was working perfectly normal and then this. I've changed the batteries but this screen comes right back. I've googled it and can't find anything. Anybody deal with this?? Makes riding the fan bike so much more fun when the display works
