zerow Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 This Schwinn is AWESOME! I'm not familiar with the "Corvette" - Does this one have the wide rims AND the Sturmey-Archer 3 speed? I have a '67 Typhoon up in the rafters. Still hunting for the 26" Wide Schwinn 'S-7' style wheels (with the ridges down the center). I want to get an old two-speed Bendix kickback hub for the rear. I had better get the Datsun done first! Quote Link to comment

I say scrap the BMX project and build an even taller bike :) haha yeah :) My Uncle had a double stack bike that was tall as shit, was really hard to ride. It was more the navigation, theres alot of tree branches and shit up there :D I got plans to make a few more high-bikes for racing and jousting. But I just couldnt pass up the chance to bring the MotoMags back to life! Quote Link to comment

I'm not really a fan of 20" bikes, mainly 24"s. I'm trying to get him to sell me his super rare cyclepro. We do a big ride through the streets of la every month. Cops chasing us, running red lights, hitting on chicks in Hollywood, its a great time. YouTube 4130 subway series, there are some videos Quote Link to comment

This frame is so small I am contemplating building a 26" version! A scaled up tribute the the awesome Yamaha moto-bike. I wanted this bike soooooo bad in teh 70's, but could never afford it (I was only like 6 or 7). Kinda neat to be able to buy the things you wanted as a kid! These suckers sell for $500 restored but I picked up this one for $65! Kami there is a thread on here about guitars and a pic of my collection. Old Japanese cars, guitars and now BIKES!

I need to get a bike again... Quote Link to comment
fisch Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Nice bikes! I tell you I was way more into 26" big tire vintage stuff before this Yamaha. Now I am remembering my BMX riding days of youth. I know the Schwinn King Sting bike are worth big bucks these days too! I'd love to score one at a yard sale. Quote Link to comment
Radim Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 Those older GT bikes were built where i've lived all my life... Santa Ana, CA The factory is a couple minutes from me, around 2000 they sold the factory to S&M bikes, which sold it again a year ago to another bike company. Quote Link to comment
