AGE / VALUE: Old schwinn bike
posted by: Randy
on 1/18/2001 at 8:21:15 PM
| I was cleaning out my grandfathers barn after his passing on and found this neat old bike. It is red and silver, and has a fake gas tank too. My dad said that gramps got it back in the 30's. Oh yeah, the brand or type say's streamline. I'm not really into bikes but since it's a family piece, I thought it might be neat to keep around. Is this worth anything ? My wife say's I should just donate it to the goodwill, but I want to keep it. So all you experts out there, give me some info to sway her opinion.
Thanks, Randy

It is pre-war and that means something. Check E- BAY and look and see what these are selling for. Go to a Bicycle swap meet and look around. The Goodwill people would just call some collector anyway. Don't ever paint a Bicycle! Never, Never, Never under any circumstances, not with housepaint, not if your'e unskilled. Put that brush down now. Bicycle horn tanks are worth money! People look for these. Oh My, Im dizzy... |

| Randy,
Kevin is just being flip. Too many times we've come across old bikes that would have been valuable, or at least somewhat valuable if someone had just left it alone.
By all means hold on to this bike. I would strongly advise against a restoration as well, just give it a good cleaning, Protective coat of wax, and repack all the bearings. Then enjoy this piece of not only great American history, but your family history as well.
If your grandfather loved this bike enough to hold on to it all these years, then shouldn't it be kept in the family as well? Who knows, you may find that if you ride it occasionally, you'll really enjoy how well these old things cruise, and the positive reactions from those whom you pass by on the roadways...
just my 2 cents,
Rif |

I didn't think they would still have any of this stuff, but it never hurts to ask, Right?!?
I just think it's pretty cool that they even responded, especially about an old bike they haven't manufactured for a few decades. Most companies don't respond about a product you purchased yesterday let alone something that old and all but forgotten.

BALLOON: Early Fifties Huffy Customliner
posted by: Rif Addams
on 1/11/2001 at 2:54:54 PM
| Hey All,
I just picked up an early fifties Huffy Customliner, (refer to picture database, '52 Huffy Customliner)
it has everthing including the horn tank; but minus the fenders, and rear rack,(the bracket for the rack is still there). The rear brace where the upper portion of the fender ataches has what I could only describe as an inverted 'v' shape. Would this indicate a peaked fender? Seems logical to me.
I am unsure if the rims/tires are correct for this bike. Currently it has drop center rims with 1.75 tires.
The thing that really gets me though, is the three-speed 'twist grip' shift mechanism on the handlebars. You twist it like a motorcycle throttle to shift gears. it has
H-
N-
L-
for each setting or gear.
I love this shift set up, can anyone clue me in on what make rear hub was used with this?
I really dig this bike and want to do a very mild Kustom treatment to it, retaining this shifter.
Heck, any info on this bike period would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Rif |

Under magnification, the shifter has (barely legible with age and wear) the triple three's!

Any other info on the rest of this bike would still be wonderful, if you can help.
Thanks again,

RE:RE:BALLOON: Early Fifties Huffy Customliner
posted by Rif on 1/11/2001 at 11:35:00 PM
| Thanks Sam,
yeah, by the style of this twist grip it would be the 70's. It's definately "old school". It's a pretty cool mechanism in it's simplicity.
I had recieved some cables and what not for X-mas from my Dad. I've now got the cable hooked up to the shifter and routed on the frame.
I need to lace the hub on a rim. I'm definately going to exchange the forks with a blade fork. The fork on this thing is just flimsy. it's a piece of thin plate with the edges rolled to the inside (wheel side). I have doubts as to its strength. I know I will feel better with like a schwinn style blade fork. or better yet a blade style truss fork.
In any case it should be a cool bike to bomb around on until I decide to totally re-do it.

AGE / VALUE: Another Schwinn??? A Typhoon!
posted by: ChristopherRobin@starmail.com
on 1/11/2001 at 1:12:37 PM
| I picked up Schwinn Typhoon in red with 26 X 1 3/4 wheels and I want to remove these wheels and put in a set of 26X 2.125 S-2's. I am told by two mechanics that yes, I can do this. The bicycle's frame looks identical to the Wasp. Only the chainguard and fenders are diffrent. The handle bar bolt broke off and so the handlebars are good and stuck. (Temporary setback) Why I thought this was a 24 inch wheel version I don't know. The local shop where I dropped this off had another similar model in green and they had gotten the customer to buy a whole slew of re-pop parts like fenders, rack,lights, grips Probably tires if they can. Hey the customer wanted it.
The rack is 50.00, tail light for rack is 35.00 , grips are 7.00,fenders are chrome re-pop with braces (and that awful Taiwaneese phillips bolt mounting hardware.) Still, Unless you are a purist who insists on origonal parts, dressing up your old Schwinn with these parts is acceptable.
I'd preferr to find the darned bike complete with all these goodies. |
RE:AGE / VALUE: hey Me too!!!
posted by Rif Addams on 1/11/2001 at 2:15:13 PM
| I just picked up another Typhoon myself! That makes Three now!
The first I have completely Kustomized (awaiting $$$ for motor) that one is a 63- built in Oct.
The second is a red Typhoon Deluxe, 66- built in March. The newest (it has not yet arrived, should be here any day now) is a 64.
I really dig the Typhoons. The 63 was the bike that re-introduced me to bicycles and since that I've been bitten hard by the 'old bike bug'. I think it is because of that 63 that I seem to have a warm and fuzzy feeling for the Typhoon line of bikes.
I was not able to get the 2.125 wheels to fit on the 63 in the rear on mine. The tire was too tall on the rim, and would rub the underside of the fender,(balooner fenders). Maybe I was not doing it right or something, but as a 'heads-up' you may want to do a little investigating on this before spending hard earned cash for it.
If it works, let me know how and what please.
It seemed to me that this conversion SHOULD have worked, but...

| it is my experience that balloon wheels do not fit on any of the 1960s Schwinn typhoons because the tire rubs up against the fenders. Anyways putting that on the bike isn't original. Schwinn speedsters from the 1960s with the wider fenders can have balloon 26x2.25 wheels, it worked fine on my beater cruizer 1961 speedster that I rode in bad weather. I have a question about the differences in my typoons and my 26 inch schwinn skipper and whether the skippers sold at a higher price than the typhoon. |

In the background was a bicycle that looked exactly like a Spaceliner, Flightliner, Cosmic Flyer.
There was no mention what-so-ever about the bike. Who knows, maybe they just made some components of the bike like the electic light components or something.
It was interesting to say the least.
Does anybody know anything about this? Was Panasonic making space-age bikes in the '60's? I know they made conventional bikes later on.

| I uncovered another batch of old cranks and sprockets and afterward I stoped in to see a pal to do a little bit of "Show and Tell" I show what I find and he tells!
This one piece is "Real Schwinn" as he put it. "It's their famous crank, It screams the grandeur that was Schwinn" This is a large 24 tooth skip tooth crank or "Humber pitch" as he says and it has four large holes the size of Eisenhower silver dollars and also four smaller holes. I checked my bike books because the resources on the web are still in the elementary stage. The picture of the bike it is on is like from 1897. So it is an old crank. I have never seen one of these before and having one on the wall is really neat.
Each manufactuer made more than one style crank sprocket. Schwinn made many diffrent sizes for many diffrent bicycles. Someone someday should put a whole page up on the web that shows them all and makes sense of it all so if you have something you can figure out what it went to and what year it is from e.t.c. |

Im thinking of a whole page of crank sprockets. Every crank sprocket ever made for every bicycle you can think of and even more for the ones you have never heard of. A picture of the part with a description of what make and model bike with the years it was produced.
Then do a page of nothing but caliper brakes all the many diffrent makes and models. With a description what bikes used them and what year these were made. e.t.c.
A page for wheels. Drop center, S-2, S-7 alloy, steel, Westwood and Endrick Westrick. Every type wheel catalog them all! Every size. and get a description. Don't know what you have? Don't know if it is correct? Look it up! Sheldon already has a wonderful tire and rim chart on his excellent page.
A page for brake cables,hub cones DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY DIFFRENT TYPES OF HUB CONES THERE ARE? I've slowly learned what goes on what hub, for what bike. All this needs to get into the web someday. There is a tremendous amount more that can be done. It won't be easy. |
RE:RE:RE:AGE / VALUE: Crank sprocket page idea
posted by ChristopherRobin on 1/11/2001 at 2:03:39 PM
| So much if these parts is obscure. I have C.C.M. tricycle headset races(Don't know what size they are threaded) They're old and the old C.C.M. factory is gone, the company is alive and vibrant but it is diffrent, things have changed. If the bag wasn't labled I'd be really lost and would never know what they fit.
So many things get thrown out because the person who holds it in his/her hands does not know what in the heck it is to and there is nobody there to tell and so it goes into the trash! I'll never use these headset parts,certainly not a whole cloth bag of em but letting these get tossed out would be wrong. My heavens, C.C.M. was a huge company years ago, they made many things. I'd love to really get into it and discover all about it.
When we unearth the old catalogs and shop diagrams and get it posted up on the net with some photos of the factories and some information from former workers it will be awesome. It is the stumbling around that fustrates many of us. Finding the bicycle or that special part is really fun. Having to try to learn about it can be a pain sometimes. Especially when your really great question goes unanswered. Where would we be if there was no OldRoads, Sheldon and the others? Totally lost that's where! |
