Fall Pictures

OK guys and gals now that fall is in full swing dig your best Schwinn's or even a ratty Schwinn out and lets see some new pictures in the pumpkin patch or under a maple tree with its leaves turning maybe even in front of a corn field or next to the old dog. I will put some up later this week also. Just have fun

1959 Deluxe Tornado

This is a 1959 Original paint Deluxe Tornado. There were a few thing missing when I found it. I added the longhorn bars, Deluxe neck, Saddle, Center stamped chrome S7s with red band 2 speed kick back W/ Repo west wind white wall tires, Stewart Warner Speedo, Red crown valve stem caps. nothing like cruising in the fall and getting nat's/bug's in your teeth.

1940s Schwinn 3 wheeler

OK, Maybe its not a Schwinn and It might be from the 40s and its missing its head badge so I do not know what it is. My nephew puts a few miles on it when he comes to visit but he is getting a bit bigger and he has been eyeballing my Krates

Nice Tornado! The paint scheme on the tricycle looks just like the Hawthorne/Roadmaster bikes of the time.

More fall pictures

Fall is one of me favorite times of the year, Here is a 68 original Paint slik chik. I think the only thing that is not original is the tires. Also a restored 73 lemon peeler with very nice original seat.

I like those photos Jeff, and the bikes ain't bad either

I'll take some Fall pics soon and post them.

Oh yeah, what's that I see tucked in the driveway in the first pic?

Hey Jeff, beautiful bikes you have. I especially like the Slik Chik.
Here is a NOS 1970 Skoot 444. Sorry but the leaves have not fallen off the pear trees as of yet.

Thanks for posting the fall pictures guys. Dan, I like the NOS scoot and I would trade a little of your sunshine for some fall leaves. Azhearseguy, Awesome fall pictures with the Sidewinder. Jay, I will take some pictures of a couple Schwinn bikes with the car in the back ground and they will all be 1964s stay tuned. Fun stuff

Mike, I like the 62 twin straight bar, I am surprised Schwinn dropped that style so fast. It looks good with the chrome springer front fork and that's a way cool seat. Thanks for posting up your fall pictures. Jeff

I took my red Schwinn Rocket 88 mountain bike out on some single track through ponderosa pine covered hills today. Sunny and in the mid-70s in northcentral Arizona. Perfect biking weather.
Note the NOS "Schwinn Racing" BMX pad on the top tube of the bike. Found some sets at a former Schwinn dealer in NM a year or so back.

Ghostly Day

It was kind of a gloomy day today so I dug out the all original 71 Gray Ghost (even the tires) and took a couple shots in the leaves.
