| Need help identifying my old bike. I learned to ride on this bike on February 24th, 1968(written on back). It was a neighbor's loaner. It was already beat up, so guessing '65, '66, '67, ???? Would love some help from the "muscle" experts out there. I have collected old bikes for many years, but from the teens to twenties era. Please send any info to laszlopazpalos@gmail.com Thank you!

AGE / VALUE: Bike Identification

| I found this bike in the barn of the house I bought. I have started taking it apart to restore it. It looks like it is from the late 60's or 70's. It says "Quarter Horse" 3 on the chain guard. All other identifiable patches are gone (except the seat, which is from Moscow, Tenn). Does anyone knows what bike this is? Thanks

MISC: REPLACEMENT (substitute) CONES FOR 68 STINGRAY
posted by: M Ament
on 8/14/2010 at 3:02:04 PM
| Hello, I tore apart my front hub on my stingray. The axle was bent and cones pitted, so I got new one at the bike store. The guy gave me some cones, but they looked like cheap plated garbage and they were smaller than the older ones. I am not sure of the manufacturer of my schwinn approved 169 hub, Atom I believe. But can anyone tell me what cones I can put in that will be a good match. I have seen some Shimano ones that look alike. The size is a 5/8th inch shaft for axle, and the cones are 15.75 diameter and 11.65 in length. Blued steel. My cup bearing cover has a 16.45 inside diameter, so any cones up to that diameter would be good. The closer to the cup bearing the better. Also can anyone recommend dust covers for the front hub? Either the rubber ones or big shiny Chrome ones. The outer diameter of the hub is 41.5mm. I'm not a bike pro, so finding all these parts is very time consuming, and it seems these days every search leads you back to Ebay!!! ARghhhhhhhhhhhh!!! Oh anyone know if they have silicone nitride cones! Lol just kidding I can't afford that!!! by: 76.73.194.127 |
| Ok to make it easier i will put on inch measures. 5/8 inch cone diameter 7/16 cone length 5/8 inch shaft 5/8 inch outer grease cap 1 1/16 outer rim(where cover would cover lip) So 5/8 is pretty much the diameter and that would be close to the bearing cap. The earlier measurement for the dust cap is for the whole hub, not the area just outside the rim of the hub that is outside bearing So if anyone can recommend a decent replacement thanks!! by: 76.73.194.127 |
| Whoops, its seems the atom hubs are on the crates. I have a Fastback. The hub says Schwinn approved 169 made in france. Any information on the manufacturer in france appreciated too. Or the hub number s-2? Its something like that. by: 76.73.194.127 |

MISC: WARNING WARNING WARNING
posted by: Tommy

| Warning to you guys that buy parts for your muscle bikes on Ebay. I was ripped off for $50 buy a seller named Raleigh-Ron that sells a lot of stuff on Ebay. Do not deal with this guy, he is a crook and not a good person to deal with. I am not here to smear anyone's name, just warn others to spend their money elsewhere. Somewhere that cares about their customers. There are a lot of other sellers that sell the same stuff for better prices. Be careful and shop around on Ebay before you spend your money. by: 75.178.75.60 |
| What happened???? I've bought several things from him, including some stuff from his store and never had any trouble. by: 64.65.219.134 |
| What happened is kind of a long story. I did finally got a refund, but it was not easy and he was not very nice to me. I can not say he ripped me off anymore, but I can say his customer service is awful. He is mean to customers and seems he always has to have his way. In my opinion he gouges his customers for every penny he can. This is a hobby and is supposed to be fun. There is no fun in dealing with mean people. I still stand by my warning to be careful and shop around before spending your money. Finding someone that treats you with respect is well worth the extra time. If Ron reads this, then take it as constructive criticism. If you are mean to all your customers then you will eventually be out of business. I am not angry and do not hold a grudge but I do learn from my mistakes and will certainly shop elsewhere. by: 75.178.75.60 |
| Just ignore Tommy aka (White Trash) he is just upset because he was banned from the Muscle Bike Forums! He always posts he wants items and never pays, he likes to work trades and then doesn't send his stuff. He also claims to have medical problems to get sympathy from everyone so he can gets stuff cheaper and donations. Typical White Trash type stuff. by: 97.73.64.173 |
| Well, if you want the truth, Tommy sent me $50 to make him some decals I was waiting for a scan of his chain guard and he never supplied it. He was also a member of my forum so I waited patiently. Then I bought out a bicycle collection from a local guy and this is when White Trash started his B.S. I was told he was supposed to get some of the parts from the other guy so I offered to complete the deal they had previously worked but it was too late he was already ANGRY and accused me of ripping him off, and also trued to say I planned to switch parts on him. Then he demanded his $50 back for the decal so after a couple days I refund from Pay Pal. He says he is not angry and likes to play the victim, but he is the one on all the bicycle forums trying to slam my good name. I do have thousands lining up to defend how I treat customers. I am sure you can find a few guys that will agree with him, but I would also bet the same guys like to scam on all the forums and are dead beat buyers. by: 97.73.64.173 |
| Banned? Ha! I asked you to delete my membership. Tell the truth Ron. You did not off to complete the same deal I had with the other person. You tried to pull a fast one on me and offer a used seat in place of the NOS seat that was what I made a deal on. I know you got two identical seats in the deal. One NOS one used. That is the stuff you pull. It is all about making profit to you. Dead beat buyer?? What ever dude. I may say I want to buy something but also say I can not come up with the money. Bid deal! So I want more bike stuff than I can afford. Who doesn't? It took you 13 days to refund my $50 after I asked for it. You never refunded me until I posted this message on a couple forums. DO NOT BRING UP MY MEDICAL PROBLEMS! I can easily prove my problems but do not want to do that on a public forum. Anyone that wants to see my medical records and my papers for my disability then email me. I do not lie. I may back out of deals that I can not come up with money for. I will admit that. I kind of have an addiction to muscle bikes. It is a real problem that I am working on. Ron, let's stop this now. I will never mention another word of you in a public setting if you do the same. Let's ignore each others existence and go on with things. That is all I want ed several weeks ago when I asked to be deleted from your forum and my $50 back. It could have been real easy for both of us if you did not start the name calling business. I even tried to send you an apology for my name calling after you refunded my money but you banned me from emailing you. So, I will apologize for any name calling I did. I will not apologize for any true statements I made, but I will apologize for the name calling. I got angry and I am sorry. Now let's be men and let this whole thing go. by: 75.178.75.60 |
