| I have an old Ace bicycle and the serial # is B21178, it's made by Schwinn, under the Schwinn serial #'s it says it's a 1952, could someone please tell me it that is correct, thanks, Rick by: 69.133.81.88 |
| Well, it's consistent with the list on this site. by: 209.7.150.163 |
| I have what I believe is a balloon tire bike made by schwinn the serial # is B972556. Any help would be appreciated thank you by: 207.200.116.5 |
| Going by the serial number chart on this WEB site I'd say your bike was made in Feb. 1959. Cycle on! by: 67.186.49.179 |
| Anyone have an idea what to ask for a 1960 JC Higgens? Original paint and tires; electric horn; beehive shocks; missing headlight. by: 207.172.132.56 |

| I just got a mens 1955 Columbia, complete with horn tank (horn works, and still had the RAy-O Vac batteries in it, : "guaranteed not to leak"...and they didn't!!!), rear rack, chainguard and headlight and leather saddle. It's missing the truss rods, but the plastic caps are still there. Anyway... there is light rust inside the tank which seems to be layered over the paint. It comes off with a brass brush, and the paint beneath it is fine, but it's taking forever. Anybody have a quicker method? The rust is also on the rims and I'm using the same method to remove it. After brushing, the siver beneath is in nice condition. Also, does anybody out there have a set of truss rods for sale for this blue and cream beauty? Thanks! Fred A by: 69.122.249.255 |
| I don't know a faster method. Patience is key here! Ultra fine steel or brass wool pads work too. To get it done faster would require a coarser sander that would also damage the underlying coating of paint or chrome. Cycle on! by: 67.186.49.179 |
| I recently aquired a bicycle which has wooden rims banded with metal and has a badge on the head tube that says "brooklyn dodger" I have not been able to find any information on this bike any where. if any one ahs any idea what this is (besides a bicycle) and who might have actually made it I would really appreaciate it by: 24.45.66.75 |
| The Wheelmen http://www.thewheelmen.org/ have a fabulous list of pre-WWI bike brands. A search turned up seven firms in Brooklyn, all circa 1898, but no hits for Dodger. Get in touch with them, maybe send them a picture. Please post a picture here too, to the picture database, and let us know when it's up. We live for this stuff. by: 209.7.150.163 |
| Hello, wondering if you have found any more info on your Brooklyn Dodger bike/ please contact me by: 70.220.83.90 |
