Vintage Bicycles

stumbled on this thread and figured I'd throw in a few from my herd that might be appreciated here:

1953 Western Flyer X-53 (colors are technically "wrong," it's a long story)


1951(ish) J.C. Higgins, lots of mismatched parts


1959 and 1960 Schwinn Corvettes

 

Were the side pipes on the J.C Higgens metal or wood or plastic or ???

 

Actually 3-D printed. The tank has portholes. I saw another model that had side pipes but they were 4 on each side. I designed them in a very simple program called Tinkercad.

 

you kids - so clever

 

I need new rims and tires for mine... The generator for the lights still works...

 

GNRS, '26

 

1937 Schwinn Excelsior. Still has the original wood clad wheels. Been sitting in a California garage for better part of 60 years when I found it.

 

I hope this belongs here.

 

Three of my little 20" Schwinns that are now in other peoples collections.

 

nice
I'd be tempted to free up the bearings, then leave it as-is.
