Hard to find good lights, Batteries always leak and corrode the housing. Nice bike.

My 1959 Schwinn Deluxe Tornado. A 24" Middleweight Double Straightbar. I bought this bike from my cousin in 1975. It was a basically a frame & wheels...it was a rideable bike and I did my paper route on it for a couple of years. In 1983 I started collecting the proper parts and restored it to it back to the way it looked when it left Arnold Schwinn & Co. in 1959.

...and my 1954 Schwinn Black Phantom...All original except for the tires and chain. The '48 Ford Woodie was a much larger resto I tackled about a decade after the Tornado...Enjoy, Gary

There is a German Car Club Show that I go to that has a German bicycle class.
It has had no entrants the last few years and they should let something like this enter in that class.
Nice car show cruiser.

Any Stingray fans seen the new Fritz50 yet? Yes, I agree, it's not a "real" Stingray but it's a cool concept that might hold value better than most the repops.

Not sure if you care, but your second line has a typo. "I" instead of "in".

Cool bike. I have never been into the small Schwinns, but that is a nice example for sure.

Good eye, thanks.

I'm surprised I still have it actually, bikes in the same or even worse condition are selling for $600 or more on Ebay.

Tried offering up some trades for that, miss my 67 fastback, although it was just a single speed with apes. Nice bike FO SHO!
