I just got back on the forum and didn't know you folks had sent me more info on the Schwinn New world Decals. Thank you all. With this info I should be able to have decals made. I asked around at the Bike Exchange and one of the members has a brother that belongs to a local maker space that has a decal maker.

I am going to send him this info and see if he can come up with something.

I was able to purchase the seat tube wrap and medalion so all I need is the down tube decal.

If anyone happens to have a front fender just taking up space that would be the iceing on the cake.

I have fenders that look close to the schwin ones but not with the peak on the front.

I just finished cleaning up a Fuji Del Rey and now am staring at a Flyer Electric Cargo bike and wondering what to do with it.

It was donated to the Bike Exchange in non working condition. They didn't want it and gave it to me. The owner left it sitting under a sprinkler for a few hours and now it is dead. I checked the battery and it charged up with no problem. The mechanical parts appear o/k - the bike looks new. When I received it I found a charge controler in one of the saddle bags that came with it. I am going to try to do some digging and see if this is a new part or if this is the one from the bike that has been removed .

Apparently Flyer bikes are sold by American Flyer and are internet only sales. The website lists a large number of "dealers" locally but when I called them no one has ever heard of American Flyer. Sounds kind of fishy. I found a phone no. for the company and will call them Monday to see if they will be willing to assist me in getting this thing running. It sold new for almost $2000 including the accessories and would make a great Playa Bike for Burning Man.

The Fuji is a perfect "classic" Japanese bike . The Suntour derailleurs and shifters, combined with a Shimano hyperglide 6 speed freewheel. and 52/42 up front , and an all up weight of just 24lb. including pedals.
