DX hubs are of very good to excellent quality in their day... better than LX and as good as XT level in my opinion. |
this is in great shape 74-75

I have a old Raleigh Competition GS that I ride every once in a while. Nothing serious. Now, the wife wants to ride. Low and behold, we were in a thrift shop looking at some glassware, when I saw this Schwinn. I don't know JACK about bikes, but I knew that this Schwinn looked like a carbon copy of my Raleigh Competion GS. The price on it was a killer $25. I looked to see if the frame was crack or something. It looked good. I forked out the $25. The next day I took it to a bike shop and told them to tune it, and any parts it needs add them.
The shop charged me $50, and I paid $12 for some toe straps. The bike didn't even need tires. I rode it and it rides as good as my Raleigh. I hope the bike bug doesn't bite me, I see you peeps put down some serious money on your bikes, and the hardware..Yikes..I feel like I stole this.. And if somebody can give me the action price and year of this Schwinn Traveler it will be much appreciated. http://www.cehoward.net/wschinn2.jpg I think the Traveler was built by Panasonic. Possibly Giant but the Short rear drop out I believe is Panasonic. My 88 World sport has long drops and I know it was a Giant.. Decent riders. That looks to be a 88 from the decal placement possibly a late 87. 88 would have Shimano Derailleurs and 87 would have Suntour. Catalogs http://www.trfindley.com/flschwinn_1...90/index5.html Welcome to the forum. Vintage rescues are addicting. |

Not bad bikes at all especially for the price. 4130 Double butted frames. Reasonable quality and reliable parts.

Here's the Mt Hood. Needs a chain, and I would really love to Suntour it out, if not
then deerhead. Tig welded, which seems pretty high tech for the time period on mountain bikes. I guess they were made bythe BMX guys at that point. It had some gigantic Selle Royal saddle on it, that went away. First pic is the weird bars, second and third are the BADLY needed original bullmoose bars. Luckily I had a 21.1 from another Ross mtb. I started installing a really nice CrMo set, when I realized Ross used the smaller stem size:twitchy:.,,,,BD The sad part is that it has to stay in Houston until this time next month. I will pick it up then, and clean it up like it deserves.... I sure hope I can find some gumwall ATB tires for it! http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n...r/DSCN0318.jpg http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n...r/DSCN0320.jpg http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n...r/DSCN0321.jpg |
Here's my latest.. I got beat to a few bikes during a local town-wide tag sale yesterday, but I didn't totally strike out. I was excited to see this Univega in my size sitting on a porch. Picked it up for $45. It's a Gran Turismo, not sure about the year, but a one-owner bike that has certainly seen some miles and I'm looking forward to doing the same. I'll post pictures in the unofficial Univega thread when I'm done cleaning it up.

My hub find from the other day got a little sweeter as the maker of those hubs stopped by today for his weekly visit and told me the rear hub with the 126mm spacing was one of his early touring triples... it has an extra central bearing to support heavier loads.
He was really pleased I got these 3 hubs for $20.00 and seemed more pleased that I was stoked about using them on my touring bike. Also saw a pair of 48 spoke hubs he is working on for an order and the rear tandem (touring hub) will ride on 4 cartridge bearings due to it's extra wide spacing and because of the load requirements. After that... we shook hands on a distributorship deal so I will be carrying these hubs in my shop and building wheels around them and servicing them as needed which is almost never. :) |

http://www.bikeforums.net/attachment...2&d=1273375134 WOW this is very nice and Suntour Cyclone too! a nice pair of tubulars would be great on the bike. there are always good deals to be had on freewheel style tubular wheels. |

Correct on the year. It was purchased from the original owner who still rides (lugged steel Tommasini with Ultegra and a steel TIGed Sirrius) and he had the original catalog and paper work from when he bought it. It was purchased in Sept. of 74'.
http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4016/...5f13d9fb_o.jpg I generally have a hatred of French bikes, but the first of the 2 PX-10s I purchased is my size so I guess right now I own a French bike of my own. I need to change out a few things before I really ride it (longer stem and seatpost). This last one probably will be going to a fellow forum member since I guess it is one of his holy grail bikes? |
Picked up 5lbs of Aluminum-
Sugino crank set,pivo stem and V-gt r/d are for a upcoming mixte project. http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/c...8/parts002.jpg http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/c...8/parts003.jpg |

A couple of months ago I picked up a Daahon Curve D3 while on a biz trip and was able to bring it home in a bigger suitcase I had. Well this biz trip I scoped out the Philly CL and found a 2007 Vitesse D7 with a lode of extras. However I didn't bring a larger suitcase with me. Now I have to hit the thrift shops to find a big suitcase to pack it as checked luggage with no fee.
Just got off of the SEPTA train in Philly with my new 2007 Dahon Vitesse D7. It was even a better deal than I thought. The bike looks pristine like it came straight from the LBS. For $250 I got: http://i914.photobucket.com/albums/a.../IMAGE_229.jpg http://i914.photobucket.com/albums/a.../IMAGE_227.jpg |
Big Canadian Made Sekine SHC
9 Attachment(s)
My girlfriend's parents were cleaning out their storage bin and asked me if I'd like a "10 speed" they had, knowing my bicycle problem, and of course I couldn't say no. Here are a couple of pictures. Near as I can tell, this is a late 70's Canadian made Sekine. It looks like the components are fairly decent. The frame is pretty big, but i haven't measured yet. The rear derailer cable snapped the first time i tried to change gears.. I still have the casing, but it's partially damaged as you can see in the pics.
What do you nerds think? Here's a little Sekine Canada history I dug up with a quick google search. If anyone is interested, I've got high-res pictures on my personal site. http://cansekine.tripod.com/id12.html http://kidgoat.ca/~finn/bike/Sekine/IMG_0572-2.JPG |

Did I see that right? It looks like the rear derailler is a "Shimano 500". Thats the first I've ever seen or heard of a 500 group. |

I was going to leave the Mt Hood here in Houston for a month while I got settled in Lake Charles.... I think I am going to make room, and
bring those Yokota gumwalls along for the ride. The more I think of that bike, the more I want to work on it. Maybe red cables, if the LC LBS realizes there are more colors than black. I still miss the chrome Voyageur, with the red/chrome look.,,,,BD |

It looks to be a 24-25 inch frame.. met a tallish fellow today who would love a bike this size. |

Given the condition, I have a strong feeling that everything is original on this bike... But when I measure the chainline, the rear is about 42mm but the front chainline is way off being around 50mm. How is this possible? |
I managed to snag a rare PHX CL 'bargain' today...a GT Slipstream hybrid for $25. It was in good condition, one owner, and very low mileage. Sat in a garage for the last 7 yrs. Needs tubes, an overhaul, and some buffing. Looks exactly like the one in the link:
http://www.bikepedia.com/QuickBike/B...ream&Type=bike I'm happy. Should make a decent flipper if my wife or stepson doesn't claim it. ;) |
